46 1-1. For safe use
pretensioners will activate.
●
Front passenger occupant classification
system: The SRS front airbags for the
front passenger will not activate if there is
no passenger sitting in the front passen-
ger seat. However, the SRS front airbags
for the front passenger may deploy if lug-
gage is put in the seat, even if the seat is
unoccupied.
●
The SRS seat cushion airbags on the rear
seat will not operate if the occupant is not
wearing a seat belt.
■
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.] vehicle colliding with
the vehicle cabin from a direction per-
pendicular to the vehicle orientation at an
approximate speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 -
18 mph]).
●
For Korea: Both SRS curtain shield
airbags may deploy in the event of a
severe side collision.
●
For Korea: Both SRS curtain shield
airbags will deploy in the event of vehicle
rollover.
●
Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also
deploy in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
■
Conditions under which the SRS
airbags may deploy (inflate), other than
a collision
The SRS front airbags, SRS curtain shield
airbags and SRS seat cushion 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
●
Landing hard or falling
For Korea: The SRS curtain shield airbags
may also deploy under the situations shown
in the illustration.
●
The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.
●
The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.
■
Types of collisions that may not deploy
the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags/SRS
seat cushion airbags)
The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion
airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle
is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls
over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal
collision. But, whenever a collision of any
type causes sufficient forward deceleration
of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front
airbags and SRS seat cushion airbags may
occur.
●
Collision from the side
●
Collision from the rear
●
Vehicle rollover
