WARNING
Do not put any kind of cover or
clothes or other objects over either
front seatback and do not attach
labels or stickers to the front seat
surface on or near the SRS side
airbag. They could prevent proper
deployment of the SRS side airbag,
reducing protection available to the
front seat’s occupant.
! Operation
S01AH0301
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag can function only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
side airbags and SRS curt ain airbags
deploy independently of each other since
each has its own impact sensor. There-
fore, they may not both deploy in the same
accident. Also, the SRS side airbag and
SRS curtain airbag deploys independently
of the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbags in the steering wheel and
instrument panel.
An impact sensor is located in each of the
left and right center pillars and rear wheel
houses.
Another impact sensor, which
monitors vehicle stability, is located under
the rear center seat. If a center pillar
impact sensor senses an impact force
above a predetermined level in a side
collision, the control module causes both
the SRS side airbag and curtain airbag on
the impacted side to inflate regardless of
whether the rear wheel house impact
sensor on the same side senses an
impact. If it is a rear wheel house impact
sensor alone that senses a sufficiently
strong impact force, the control module
causes only the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted side to inflate. After the deploy-
ment, the SRS side airbag immediately
starts to deflate. The time required from
detection of an impact to deflation of an
SRSsideairbagafterdeploymentis
shorter than the blink of an eye.
The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated
for a while following deployment then
slowly deflates.
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag deploy even when no one occupies
the seat on the side on which an impact is
applied.
When the SR S side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deploy, a sudden, fairly loud
inflation noise will be heard and some
smoke will be released. These occur-
rences are a normal result of the deploy-
ment. This smoke does not indicate a fire
