subsystems and will record sensory inputs immediately before and during a side roll or frontal impact event. • A slave SRS sensor will be installed in the cab to provide capacity for eight (8) crew cab seating positions. • A fault -indicating light will be provided on the vehicle's instrument panel allowing the driver to monitor the operational status of the SRS system. • A driver side front air bag will be mounted in the steering wheel and will be designed to protect the head and upper torso of the occupant, when used in combination with the 3-point seat belt. • A passenger side knee bolster air bag will be mounted in the modesty panel below the dash panel and will be designed to protect the legs of the occupant, when used in combination with the 3-point seat belt. • Air curtains will be provided in the outboard bolster of outboard seat backs to provide a cushion between occupant and the cab wall. • Suspension seats will be provided with devices to retract them to the lowest travel position during a side roll or frontal impact event. • Seat belts will be provided with pre-tensioners to remove slack from the seat belt during a side roll or frontal impact event. FRONTAL IMPACT PROTECTION The SRS system will provide protection during a frontal or oblique impact event. The system will activate when the vehicle decelerates at a predetermined G force known to cause injury to the occupants. The cab and chassis will have been subjected, via third party test facility, to a crash impact during frontal and oblique impact testing. Testing included all major chassis and cab components such as mounting straps for fuel and air tanks, suspension mounts, front suspension components, rear suspensions components, frame rail cross members, engine and transmission and their mounts, pump house and mounts, frame extensions and body mounts. The testing provided configuration specific information used to optimize the timing for firing the safety restraint system. The sensor will activate the pyrotechnic devices when the correct crash algorithm, wave form, is detected. The SRS system will deploy the following components in the event of a frontal or oblique impact event: • Driver side front air bag • Passenger side knee bolster air bag • Air curtains mounted in the outboard bolster of outboard seat backs • Suspension seats will be retracted to the lowest travel position • Seat belts will be pre -tensioned to firmly hold the occupant in place SIDE ROLL PROTECTION The SRS system will provide protection during a fast or slow 90 degree roll to the side, in which the vehicle comes to rest on its side. The system will analyze the vehicle's angle and rate of roll to determine the optimal activation of the advanced occupant restraints. The SRS system will deploy the following components in the event of a side roll: • Air curtains mounted in the outboard bolster of outboard seat backs 26 of 89
