●
when the passenger compartment is subjected to certain types of severe
impacts from the side.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no passen-
●
ger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front SRS side airbag on the
passenger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied. (P. 77)

causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front
airbags and SRS seat cushion airbag may occur.
