■
Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a colli-
sion
The SRS front, side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact
occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustra-
tion.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situations shown in the
illustration.
■
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbag (front airbags)
The SRS front airbags 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 colli-
sion. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of
the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
