“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator lights
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-
toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
QIf the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
OSlight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high speed
deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
OA loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
OParts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and 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 hot.
OThe windshield may crack.
OThe hybrid system will be stopped and
fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. ( P.98)
OAll of the doors will be unlocked. ( P.204)
OVehicles with Secondary Collision Brake: The brakes and stop lights will be controlled automatically. ( P.392)
OThe interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.420)
OThe emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( P.500)
OVehicles with eCall: If any of the fol- lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call to the eCall control center, notifying them of the vehicle‘s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the
level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( P.65)
• An SRS airbag is deployed. • A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
QSRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS front airbags)
OThe 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 in the following situ-
ations:
• 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 under- ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle under-
rides, or goes under, the bed of a truck
ODepending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt preten-sioners will activate.
QSRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS side and curtain shield air- bags)
OThe SRS side and curtain shield air-bags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold
level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-
cle 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]).

Speaker
*: This button is intended for communi-
cation with the eCall system operator.
Other SOS buttons available in other
systems of a motor vehicle do not
relate to the device and are not
intended for communication with the
eCall system operator.
Type B
“SOS” button*
Indicator lights
Microphone
Speaker
*: This button is intended for communi-
cation with the eCall system operator.
Other SOS buttons available in other
systems of a motor vehicle do not
relate to the device and are not
intended for communication with the
eCall system operator.
QAutomatic Emergency Calls
If any airbag deploys, the system is
designed to automatically call the
eCall control center.* The answer-
ing operator receives the vehicle’s
eCall*
eCall is a telematics service
that uses Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) data
and embedded cellular tech-
nology to enable the following
emergency calls to be made:
Automatic emergency calls
(Automatic Collision Notifica-
tion) and manual emergency
calls (by pressing the “SOS”
button). This service is
required by European Union
Regulations.

location, the time of the incident
and the vehicle VIN, and attempts
to speak with the vehicle occupants
to assess the situation. If the occu-
pants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats
the call as an emergency and con-
tacts the nearest emergency ser-
vices provider (112 system etc.) to
describe the situation and request
that assistance be sent to the loca-
tion.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P.67)
QManual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency,
press the “SOS” button to call the
eCall control center.* The answer-
ing operator will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the situa-
tion, and dispatch the necessary
assistance required.
Make sure to open the cover before
pressing the “SOS” button.
If you accidentally press the “SOS” but-
ton, tell the operator that you are not
experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P.67)
When the power switch is turned to
ON, the red indicator light will illumi-
nate for 10 seconds. Then, the
green indicator light will illuminate
for 2 seconds and remain illumi-
nated if the system is functioning
properly.
The indicator lights indicate the fol-
lowing:
If the green indicator light illumi-
nates and stays on, the system
is enabled.
If the green indicator light flashes
twice per second, an automatic
or manual Emergency Call is
being made.
If the red indicator light illumi-
nates at any time other than
immediately after the power
switch is turned to ON, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning or
the backup battery may be
depleted.
If the red indicator light blinks for
approximately 30 seconds during
an Emergency Call, the call has
been disconnected or the cellular
network signal is weak.
The service life of the backup battery
does not exceed 3 years.
