n Examples of the types of accidents in which it is possible that
the SRS airbag will deploy.
The SRS airbag may be activated when the vehicle sustains a hard
impact in the undercarriage area from the road surface (such as when
the vehicle plunges into a deep ditch, is severely bumped or knocked
hard against an obstacle on the road such as a curb).

n Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS airbag is
unlikely to deploy.
There are many types of collisions which might not necessarily require
SRS airbag deployment. If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a
telephone pole or sign pole, or if it slides under a truck’s load bed, or
if it sustains an oblique offset frontal impact, the SRS airbag may not
deploy depending on the level of accident forces involved.
