SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
■
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that
●
exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact
force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle colliding with the
vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an
approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal colli-
●
sion.

vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-
speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient for-
ward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags and SRS seat
cushion airbag may occur.
