For safety and security
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions,  burns,  bruising  etc.,  may  be  sustained  from  S RS  airbags,
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot g ases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover an d inflator) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails,
may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be h ot.
● The windshield may crack.
● The  hybrid  system  will  be  stopped  and  fuel  supply  to  the  engine   will  be
stopped. ( P. 89)
● The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( P. 580)
● For Safety Connect subscribers, if any of the following situations occur, the
system is designed to send an emergency call to the response center, noti-
fying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push t he “SOS” but-
ton)  and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to  a scertain  the
level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to
communicate,  the  agent  automatically  treats  the  call  as  an  emer gency  and
helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( P. 76)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
■ SRS airbag deployment condi tions (SRS front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact tha t  exceeds the
set  threshold level (the  level of force  corresponding  to  an app roximately 12 -
18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that  does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in  the following
situations:
• If  the  vehicle  strikes  an  object,  such  as  a  parked  vehicle  or  sign  pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If  the  vehicle  is  involved  in  an  underride  collision,  such  as  a  collision  in
which  the  front  of  the  vehicle  “underrides”,  or  goes  under,  the   bed  of  a
truck
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only th e seat belt pre-
tensioners will activate.
● The SRS front airbags for the front passenger will not activate if there is no
passenger  sitting  in  the  front  passenger  seat.  However,  the  SRS  front air-
bags for the front passenger may deploy if luggage is put in the seat, even if
the seat is unoccupied.
● The SRS seat cushion airbag on the front passenger seat will not operate if
the occupant is not wearing a seat belt.
