1-7. Safety information

■

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (front airbags)

The SRS front airbags are generally not designed to inflate if the vehicle is involved

in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal colli-

sion. But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of

the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.

■

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags

(side and curtain shield airbags)

The SRS side airbag and curtain shield airbag system may not activate if the vehicle

is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of

the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.

The SRS side airbags and curtain shield airbags are not generally designed to

inflate if the vehicle is involved in a frontal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is

involved in a low-speed side collision.
