1-7. Safety information
Operating conditions (side and curtain shield airbags)
n
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the
l
passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact from the side.
The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no passen-
l
ger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the side airbag on the passen-
ger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied.
(→P. 88)
Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a colli-
n
sion
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 airbag (front airbags)
n
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 colli-
sion. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of
the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
