■

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

sion (SRS front airbags)

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.

The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situations shown in the

illustration.

■

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS 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.
