Before driving
iQ_WE_74014E
Vehicles with curtain shield airbags: Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, and parts
of the front and rear pillars, roof side rail and rear roof headlining may be
hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
The front windshield may crack.
Operating conditions (front airbags)
The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 20-30 km/h [12-18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does
not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle
strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or
deform on impact, or if the vehicle is involved in an underride collision (e.g.
a collision in which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the
bed of a truck, etc.).
Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.
The SRS seat cushion airbag on the front passenger’s seat will not oper-
ate if the occupant is not wearing a seat belt.
Operating conditions (side airbags & curtain shield airbags [if
equipped])
The SRS side airbags & SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event
of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corre-
sponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300
lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to
the vehicle orientation at an approximate speed of 20-30 km/h [12-18 mph]).
Operating conditions (rear window curtain shield airbag [if equipped])
The SRS rear window curtain shield airbag is designed to inflate when the
passenger compartment is subjected to a severe impact from the rear or
side.
