Operating conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
●
The front SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are designed to inflate
when the passenger compartment is subjected to certain types of severe
impacts from the side.
●
The SRS side airbag on the passenger seat will not activate if there is no passen-
ger sitting in the front passenger seat. However, the front SRS side airbag on the
passenger seat may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied. (

■
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (SRS front airbags and SRS
seat cushion airbag)
The SRS front airbags and SRS seat cushion airbag are generally not designed to
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 airbag may occur.
