Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
! When will the SRS frontal airbag
not deploy?
The SRS frontal airbag is not designed to
deploy in most cases if the vehicle is
struck from the side or from behind, or if it
rolls onto its side or roof, or if it is involved
in a low-speed frontal collision.
1) First impact
2) Second impact
In an accident where the vehicle is
impacted more than once, the SRS frontal
airbag deploys only once on the first
impact.
Example: In the case of a double collision,
first with another vehicle, then against a
concrete wall in immediate succession,
once the SRS frontal airbag is activated
on the first impact, it will not be activated
on the second.
& SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag
The SRS side airbag is stored in the door
side of each front seat seatback.
In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS side airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the door panel
and supplements the seatbelt by reducing
the impact on the occupant s chest.
The SRS curtain airbag on each side of
the cabin is stored in the roof side
(between the front pillar and a point over
the rear seat).
In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the side
window and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact on the occupant s
head.
For Russia models, in a rollover, SRS
curtain airbags on both sides of the
vehicle deploy between the occupants
and the side windows and supplement
the seatbelts by reducing the impact on
the occupant s head.
