SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
■
The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set
●
threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 - 30
km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situa-
tions:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which
can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which
the front of the vehicle "underrides", or goes under, the bed of a truck
Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt preten-
●
sioners will activate.
