If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
n
The front windshield may crack.
l
Operating conditions (front airbags)
n
The SRS front airbags will deploy if the severity of the frontal impact is
l
above the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximate 15
mph (25 km/h) collision when the vehicle impacts straight into a fixed bar-
rier that does not move or deform.
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or
deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g.
a collision in which the front of the vehicle "underrides", or goes under, the
bed of a truck, etc.).
It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the
l
vehicle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front air-
bags and the seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.
The SRS front passenger airbag will not activate if there is no passenger
l
sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger airbag
may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccupied.
(→P. 78)
Operating conditions (side airbags and curtain shield airbags [if
n
equipped])
The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate
l
when the 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
l
passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the side airbag
on the passenger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if
the seat is unoccupied. (→P. 78)
