CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
The seat belt with pretensioner and SRS airbag system (including the passenger side
airbag, if equipped) is activated when the vehicle receives an impact exceeding a
certain level in the event of a frontal collision. Because the vehicle body absorbs part
of impact energy, the system may not be activated due to reduction in the force of the
impact or the intensity or direction of the impact received. However, even if the front of
the vehicle is largely deformed by the collision, in some cases the impact on the seat is
not severe. Therefore, the severity of deformation of and damage to the vehicle do not
necessarily match with the activation of the airbag.
When and How the Seat Belt with Pretensioner and SRS
Airbag System Operates
When is the Seat Belt with Pretensioner and SRS Airbag System
Activated?
When the vehicle collides head-on
against a solid wall with an impact of
a certain level or higher
When the vehicle collides head-on
against a parked/stopped vehicle or
a moving vehicle with an impact of a
certain level or higher
WARNING
Immediately after the airbag is inflated, the metal portion that inflates the airbag
gets hot. Do not touch it. Doing so may cause a serious injury such as a burn.
