■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  right front  passenger  seat.  However,  t he  SRS  front
airbags  for  the  front  passenger  may  deploy  if  luggage  is  put  in   the  seat,
even if the seat is unoccupied. ( P. 53)
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions  (SRS side and curtain shield airbags) 
● 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  curtain  shield  airbags  may  also  deploy  in  the  event  of  a  severe
frontal collision. 

501-1. For safe use
■Conditions under which the SRS ai rbags may deploy (inflate), other than
a collision
The  SRS  front  airbags  and  SRS  curtain  shield  airbags  may  also  d eploy  if  a
serious  impact  occurs  to  the  underside  of  your  vehicle.  Some  ex amples  are
shown in the illustration.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situation shown in
the illustration.
■ 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.
●
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or vehicle falling
● The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.
● The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.
● Collision from the side
● Collision from the rear
● Vehicle rollover
