1-7. Safety information
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS side airbags and cur-
n
tain shield airbags (if equipped)
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if
the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a col-
lision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are not generally designed
to inflate if the vehicle is involved in a rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is
involved in a low-speed side collision.
