1-7. Safety information

Before driving

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-

bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag sen-

sor assembly consists of a safing sensor and an airbag sensor.

In certain types of severe frontal or side impacts, the SRS airbag system

triggers the airbag inflators. A chemical reaction in the inflators quickly

fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occu-

pants.

■

If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)

●

Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflating)

SRS airbag.

●

A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.

●

Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as

well as the seats, and parts of the front pillar, rear pillar and roof side rail, may be

hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.

●

The windshield may crack.

●

For Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event of a

severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to

the response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to

push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants

to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants

are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emer-

gency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. (

■

SRS airbag deployment conditions (front airbags)

●

The front SRS airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set

threshold level (the level of force corresponding to a 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h]

frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).

However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes

an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on

impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in

which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.).

●

It is possible that in some collisions where the forward deceleration of the vehi-

cle is very close to the designed threshold level, the SRS front airbags and the

seat belt pretensioners may not activate together.
