If The Srs Airbags Deploy (Inflate); Srs Airbag Deployment Conditions (Srs Front Airbags) - Toyota Avanza Owner's Manual

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

■
Slight abrasions, burns, bruising, etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags,
●
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)
●
may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
The windshield may crack.

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)

■
The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the
●
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately
20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not
move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following
situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle "underrides", or goes under, the bed of a
truck
Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pre-
●
tensioners will activate.
Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than
■
a collision
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.
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
●
surface
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
●
Landing hard or falling
