The factors that can be seen and meas-
ured only after the collision cannot be
used as the conditions for triggering air-
bag deployment, nor as the indications of
airbag deployment.
Sometimes, airbags may not deploy even
though serious deformation has been
caused due to collision. For an example, in
case of deformation of a vehicle compo-
nent which is subject to deformation easily
and the vehicle deceleration is not high,
the situation above may occur. On the con-
trary, the airbag may deploy even though
the vehicle has slight deformation. For ex-
ample, when colliding with the longitudinal
beams and other rigid components and
the vehicle deceleration is high enough,
such circumstance may occur.
The safety system components may be
triggered in case of some collision and im-
pact or deceleration. It depends on the
collision degree, angle, speed and object.
Equipment Triggering
conditions
Front airbag
In case of front
collision accident
and the airbag de-
vice reaches trig-
gering conditions.
Side Airbag
Side collision or
some high-speed
frontal collision
with an angle hap-
pens, and the air-
bag triggering
conditions are
met.
Equipment Triggering
conditions
Head air curtain
Side collision or
some high-speed
frontal collision
with an angle hap-
pens, and the air-
bag triggering
conditions are
met.
Far side airbag
Side collision or
some high-speed
frontal collision
with an angle hap-
pens, and the air-
bag triggering
conditions are
met.
The passenger airbag can be deployed in
an accident only if the passenger airbag is
enabled. If the front passenger seat is oc-
cupied, make sure both before and during
the journey that the passenger airbag is in
the correct state.
WARNING Risk of burns from hot air-
bag components
The airbag components are hot when
just deployed.
► Do not touch the airbag
components.
► Have deployed airbags immediately
replaced at a smart Authorized Serv-
ice Partner as soon as possible.
If the seat belt pretensioners are triggered
or the airbags are deployed, you will hear a
bang, and a small amount of powder may
also be released.
● The bang sound generally does not af-
fect your hearing.
● In general, the powder released is not
hazardous to health but may cause
short-term breathing difficulties to per-
sons suffering from asthma or other
pulmonary conditions.
