■
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) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails,
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.
■
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
shield airbags)
●
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 1500 kg
[3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendic-
ular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h
[12 - 18 mph]).
●
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
