1-7. Safety information
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags)
■
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact
that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact
force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the
vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approxi-
mate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a colli-
■
sion (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of
your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
■
The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to 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 colli-
sion. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of
the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
