Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
might not necessarily require deployment
of drivers/drivers and front passengers
SRS frontal airbag(s). If the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a telephone pole or
sign pole, or if it slides under a trucks load
bed, or if it sustains an oblique offset fron-
tal impact, the drivers/drivers and front
passengers SRS frontal airbag(s) may
not deploy depending on the level of acci-
dent forces involved.
Examples of the types of accidents
in which the drivers/drivers and
front passengers SRS frontal air-
bag(s) will basically not deploy.
The drivers and front passengers SRS
frontal airbags are designed basically not
to deploy if the vehicle is struck from the
side or from behind, or if it rolls onto its
side or roof, or if it is involved in a low-
speed frontal collision.
1) First impact
2) Second impact
In an accident where the vehicle is impact-
ed more than once, the drivers and/or
front passengers SRS frontal airbag(s)
will deploy only once on the first impact.
Example: In the case of a double collision,
first with another vehicle, then against a
concrete wall in immediate succession,
once either or both of the drivers and front
passengers SRS frontal airbags is/are ac-
tivated on the first impact, it/they will not
be activated on the second impact.
