1-7. Safety information

■

Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a colli-

sion

The SRS front airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of

your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.

■

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.
