■ If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed of deployment
(inflation) by hot gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the parts around the airbags may
be hot for several minutes. The airbag
itself may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
● The hybrid system will be stopped and
fuel supply to the engine will be stopped.
(P.71)
● All of the doors will be unlocked.
(P.109)
● The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. (P.464)
● The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. (P.506)
● The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. (P.604)
■ Emergency call
● For Safety Connect subscribers, if any of
the following situations occur, the system
is designed to send an emergency call to
the response center.
• When an SRS airbag has been deployed
• When a seat belt pretensioner has oper-
ated
• When the vehicle received an impact
exceeding a certain level
Emergency services may be dispatched
even if there is no response to calls from the
agent.
■ The SRS airbags deploy in a frontal
impact when
● The following SRS airbags will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds a
threshold level (level of force corre-
sponding to an approximately 12 - 18
mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform):
• SRS front airbags
• SRS seat cushion airbags (if equipped)
• SRS knee airbags
● The threshold level at which the SRS air-
bags will deploy will be higher than nor-
mal in the in the following situations:
• When the vehicle collides with an object,
such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which moves or deforms on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride
collision, such as a collision in which the
front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes
under, the bed of a truck
● Depending on the type of collision, only
the following may deploy:
• Seat belt pretensioners
● The SRS airbags for the front passenger’s
seat will not deploy if there is no passen-
ger in the front passenger seat. However,
the SRS airbags for the front passenger’s
seat may deploy, even if the seat is unoc-
cupied, if luggage is put on the seat.
● Vehicles with SRS seat cushion airbags:
The SRS seat cushion airbags for the rear
outer seats will not deploy if the seat belt
of an occupied seat is unfastened.
● In the event of an especially severe fron-
tal collision, the left and right SRS curtain
shield airbags may also deploy.
■ The SRS airbags deploy in a side impact
when
● The following SRS airbags will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds the
set threshold level (level of force corre-
sponding to the impact force produced
by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg]
vehicle colliding with the passenger com-
partment at a perpendicular angle at an
approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 -
30 km/h]):
•SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
● If the vehicle is involved in a rollover, the
following SRS airbags will deploy:
• Both left and right SRS curtain shield air-
bags
■ The SRS airbags deploy in an underside
impact when
● The following airbags may deploy if the
underside of the vehicle collides with a
hard object:
