
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.

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (front airbags)
The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle is
involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a
low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes
sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front
airbags may occur.
