●
When a moder
ate to severe front or
side impact is detected during vehicle
travel and the triggering conditions are
met, the far side airbag deploys to
protect the heads and shoulders of the
driver and the front passenger.
●
If the impact occurs on the front
passenger side, the far side airbag
deploys even if there is no passenger
in the seat.
●
For optimal far side airbag protection,
occupants must have their seat belts
fastened and sit upright against the
seatback.
Side Curtain Airbags*
If the model is equipped with left and
right-side curtain airbags (mounted at
the joint between the side walls of the
body and the roof, with the A-pillar, B-
pillar, and C-pillar shields marked with
"CURTAIN AIRBAG"), as shown in the
gure. When a moderate to severe side
impact is detected during vehicle travel
and the triggering conditions are met,
the side airbag deploys to protect the
occupant's chest.
●
Generally only the airbag on the
impacted side deploys in the event of
a side impact.
●
For optimal side airbag protection,
occupants must have their seat belts
fastened and sit upright against the
seat back.
Airbag Triggering
Conditions and
Precautions
Airbag Triggering Conditions
●
The airbag triggering conditions are:
In the event of a vehicle collision,
whether an airbag will be triggered
is decided by factors such as the
amount of collision energy, accident
type, collision angle, obstacles, and
vehicle speed. The airbag system may
be triggered in special collisions.
●
The airbag system does not always
work in any accident, and generally it
will not be triggered in the event of
a minor frontal collision, rear collision
or rollover. In this case, the driver and
passengers are protected normally by
their properly fastened seat belts.
●
Determinants of airbag system
triggering: Decision is made by
comparing the deceleration curve,
generated in the collision and obtained
by the Electronic Control Unit(ECU),
