Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
both driver's and front passenger's SRS
frontal airbags may be activated when the
vehicle sustains a hard impact in the
undercarriage area from the road surface
(such as when the vehicle plunges into a
deep ditch, is severely impacted or
knocked hard against an obstacle on the
road such as a curb).
! Examples of the types of accidents
in which deployment of the driver's/
driver's and front passenger's SRS
frontal airbag(s) is unlikely to occur.
There are many types of collisions which
might not necessarily require deployment
of driver's/driver's and front passenger's
SRS frontal airbag(s). If the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a telephone pole or
sign pole, or if it slides under a truck's load
bed, or if it sustains an oblique offset
frontal impact, the driver's/driver's and
front passenger's SRS frontal airbag(s)
may not deploy depending on the level of
accident forces involved.
