Limitations to SRS AirBag
▼Limitations to SRS Air Bag
In severe collisions such as those
described previousl
y in "SRS Air Bag
Deployment Criteria", the applicable SRS
air bag equipment will deploy. However,
in some accidents, the equipment may not
deploy depending on the type of collision
and its severity.
Limitations to front/near front collision
detection:
The following illustrations are examples
of front/near front collisions that may not
be detected as severe enough to deploy the
SRS air bag equipment.
Impacts involving trees or poles
Frontal offset imp act to the vehicle
Rear-ending or running under a truck's
tail gate
Limitations to side collision detection:
The following illustrations are examples
of side collisions that may not be detected
as severe enough to deploy the SRS air
bag equipment.
Side impacts involving trees or poles
Side impacts with two-wheeled vehicles
