Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
CAUTION
Do not touch the SRS airbag system
components around the steering
wheel and dashboard with bare
hands right after deployment. Doing
so can cause burns because the
components can be very hot as a
result of deployment.
The SRS frontal airbag is designed to
deploy in the event of an accident invol-
ving a moderate to severe frontal collision.
It is basically not designed to deploy in
lesser frontal impacts because the neces-
sary protection can be achieved by the
seatbelt alone. Also, it is basically not
designed to deploy in side or rear impacts
or in roll-over accidents because deploy-
ment of the SRS frontal airbag would not
help the occupant in those situations. The
SRS airbag is designed to function on a
one-time-only basis.
SRS airbag deployment depends on the
level of force experienced in the passen-
ger compartment during a collision. That
level differs from one type of collision to
another, and it may have no bearing on
the visible damage done to the vehicle
itself.
!
When will the SRS frontal airbag
most likely deploy?
A head-on collision against a thick con-
crete wall at a vehicle speed of 20 to 30
km/h (12 to 19 mph) or higher activates
the SRS frontal airbag. The SRS frontal
airbag will also be activated when the
vehicle is exposed to a frontal impact
similar in fashion and magnitude to the
collision described above.
!
At what other times might the SRS
frontal airbag deploy?
The SRS frontal airbag may be activated
when the vehicle sustains a hard impact in
the undercarriage area from the road
surface (such as when the vehicle
