Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags, SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious
impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustra-
tion.
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard sur-
face
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
Landing hard or falling
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situations shown in the illustra-
tion.
The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.
The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the 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 forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of
the SRS front airbags may occur.
Collision from the side
Collision from the rear
Vehicle rollover
