1-8. Safety information

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying
(inflating) SRS airbag.

A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and infla-
tor) 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 approxi-
mately 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 if the vehicle
strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle and 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.).

Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seatbelt
pretensioners will activate.

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
The SRS side and 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.] vehi-
cle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the
vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20 -30 km/h [12 -18 mph]).
