Srs Airbag Deployment Conditions - Toyota Corolla 2011 Owner's Manual

SRS airbag deployment conditions (side airbags and curtain shield air-
■
bags)
The SRS side airbags and SRS 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 3300 lb.
[1500 kg] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpen-
dicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h]). Depending on the conditions and type of accident, there
are times when the curtain shield airbags may deploy (inflate) in a front
impact.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no
●
passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the side airbag
on the passenger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if
the seat is unoccupied. (→P. 97)
Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other

underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
