1-7. Safety information

SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)

■
The SRS front airbag will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set
●
threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situa-
tions:
• 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 preten-
●
sioners will activate.
The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is not a
●
passenger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front airbags for the
front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied.
SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side airbags and SRS curtain shield air-
■
bags)
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 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]).
The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
