Deployment of front airbags

when…
The front airbags are designed to deploy when the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate-to-severe frontal impact. Examples of some
typical conditions are shown in the illustration.
The front airbags will deploy if the severity of the impact
exceeds the designed threshold level, comparable to a collision
at approximately 25 km/h when impacting straight into a solid
wall that does not move or deform. If the severity of the impact
is below the threshold level above, the front airbags may not
deploy. However, this threshold speed will be considerably
higher if the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the impact
by either deforming or moving (for example, another stationary
vehicle, a pole or guard rail).
Since frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it
is important that seat belts are always worn properly. Your seat
belt will help keep you at a safe distance from the steering
wheel and instrument panel during the initial stages of airbag
deployment. The initial stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful and may cause serious or fatal injuries. Moreover, the
seat belts in your vehicle are your primary means of protection
in a collision. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) air-
bags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore,
ensure that seat belts are always worn properly for the benefit
of your personal safety and that of all occupants.
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a speed of approxi-
mately 25 km/h (15 mph) or higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact within the shaded area
