1) First impact
2) Second impact
In an accident where the vehicle is impacted more
than once, the SRS frontal airbag deploys only once.
Example: In the case of a double collision, first with
another vehicle, then against a concrete wall in im-
mediate succession, once the SRS frontal airbag is
activated on the first impact, it will not be activated
on the second.
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
J SRS side airbag (if equipped)
The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of
each front seatback, which bears an "SRS AIRBAG"
label.
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the
SRS side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle
deploys between the occupant and the door panel
and supplements the seatbelt by reducing the im-
pact on the occupant's chest and head.
WARNING
The SRS side airbag is designed as only a
supplement to the primary protection pro-
vided by the seatbelt. It does not do away with
the need to fasten seatbelts. It is also impor-
tant to wear your seatbelt to help avoid inju-
ries that can result when an occupant is not
seated in a proper upright position.
