B Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS AIRBAG
is unlikely to deploy.
There are many types of collisions which might not necessarily require
SRS AIRBAG deployment. If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a
telephone pole or sign pole, or if it slides under a truck's load bed, or
if it sustains an oblique offset frontal impact, the SRS AIRBAG may not
deploy depending on the level of accident forces involved.
The vehicle strikes a tele-
phone pole or similar ob-
ject.
B Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS AIRBAG

if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision.
