● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the even t of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/ h]).
● The SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of vehi cle rollover.
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the even t of a severe
frontal collision.
■ Conditions under which the SRS ai rbags may deploy (inflate), other than
a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side and curtain shield airbags m ay also
deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehi cle. Some
examples are shown in the illustration.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situat ions shown
in the illustration. ● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
● The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal

Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS fr ont air-
bags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle i s involved in a
side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal
collision. But, whenever a collision of any type causes suffici ent forward
deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbag s may occur.
■ Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS si de and
curtain shield airbags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags may not activate if the vehicle is
subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the
side of the vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
The SRS side airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a
rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low -speed side or low-
speed frontal collision. ● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
● Collision from the side to the vehicle
