Before driving
●
It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the
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
sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front passenger airbag
may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, or the seat belt is fastened, even
if the seat is unoccupied. (
→P. 103)
■
Operating conditions (side airbags and 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 3307 lb.
[1500 kg] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicu-
lar to the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 12-18 mph [20-30
km/h]).
■
Operating conditions (side airbags)
The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will activate even if there is no
passenger sitting in the right front passenger seat. (
→P. 103)
■
Operating conditions (curtain shield airbags)
The SRS curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate when the passenger
compartment is subjected to a severe impact from the side or vehicle roll-
over.
■
Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other
than a collision
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.
●
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or
hard surface
●
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
