1-7. Safety information

■

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

The SRS side 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 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 colli-

sion.
