Seat and Restraint System
In the event of a collision, the airbag control
unit monitors the deceleration caused by a
collision to determine if the airbags should
be deployed. Whether the airbags operate
or not depends on the involved objects, the
direction of the collision and how fast the
vehicle decelerates due to the collision,
rather than the vehicle speed. The deploy-
ment of the airbags should not be judged
from the extent of the vehicle damage. In
the event of severe frontal collision, both of
the frontal airbags will be deployed.
Deployment of Side (Side and Cur-
tain) Airbags*
The front side airbags and the side curtain
airbags may deploy when the vehicle is
subjected to a severe collision from the side
at an angle of ± 60 degrees.
