When a severe impact is applied
to the front of the vehicle in a
side collision
 When a subsequent collision
occurs after the SRS front air-
bags or SRS knee airbags
have operated
 When only a small impact is
applied to the front of the
vehicle in a collision
 When the SRS airbag warn-
ing light is illuminated
The airbags are not designed to
be used in place of the seat
belts.
The SRS side airbags and SRS
curtain shield airbags are
designed to deploy and protect
the torso and head of occupants
when a severe impact is applied
to the side of the vehicle.
In the event of a side collision,
the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain shield airbag on that side
deploys (inflates), instantly cre-
ating an air cushion to help
reduce the impact on the occu-
pants and restrain them from
contacting the door window,
door, etc. with their head and
torso. When an airbag deploys,
as it will inflate nearly instantly, it
may impact an occupant and
cause an injury, or the loud
noise emitted by ignition or
deployment may cause tempo-
rary partial loss of hearing. Also,
as an airbag and nearby parts
will be extremely hot after the
airbag deploys, touching them
may cause burns. For these rea-
sons, deployment of the airbags
is not entirely risk free. There-
fore, in order to reduce this risk,
the airbags are designed to only
deploy when additional reduc-
tion of the impact applied to the
occupants in a collision is nec-
essary.
If the force of the collision does
not cause the airbags to deploy,
the seatbelts will protect the
occupants.
The SRS front airbags and
SRS knee airbags will not
deploy when

tain shield airbag
