Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - airbag
4-34 Seat and restraint systems

The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a
moderate to severe frontal impact. Typical
situations are shown in the illustration above.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy only in certain moderate
to severe frontal collisions within the shaded
area between the arrows in the illustration to
the right.
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
will deploy if the impact to the vehicle’s main
structure is above a specific threshold level.
The threshold level is approximately 15 mph
(25 km/h) for a frontal collision straight into a
solid flat wall that does not bend or deform. If
the impact to the vehicle’s main structure is
below this threshold level, the front airbags
and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. This
threshold level may also be higher if the vehi-
cle hits something that absorbs the impact,
either by bending or moving (for example,
another stationary vehicle, a pole or a guard
rail).
The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the
most forceful and can cause serious injury or
death if you are close to the deploying airbag.
Accordingly, it is important that you always
wear the available seat belt.
In certain types of front collisions, the front
airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not
deploy, even if the deformation of the body
seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body
structure is designed to absorb the impact and
deform in order to help protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air-
bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy
are shown in the illustrations.
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag do not protect the occupant in all types
of frontal collisions, be sure to always wear
your seat belts properly.
