the vehicle cabin from a direction per-

● Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
deploy in the event of a severe side colli-
sion.
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags will
deploy in the event of vehicle rollover.
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags will
deploy in the event of a severe frontal col-
lision.
■ Conditions under which the SRS air-
bags may deploy (inflate), other than a
collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain
shield airbags may also deploy if a serious
impact occurs to the underside of your
vehicle. Some examples are shown in the
illustration.
● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also
deploy under the situations shown in the
illustration.
● The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.
● The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy
the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally
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 collision. But, when-
ever a collision of any type causes sufficient
forward deceleration of the vehicle, deploy-
ment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy
the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain
shield airbags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags
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.
● Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger compart-
ment
● Collision from the side at an angle
The SRS side airbags do not generally
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 collision.
● Collision from the front
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
