SRS Airbag ▼ SRS curtain airbag Your vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU SRS curtain airbag system that complies with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard( FMVSS) No. 226.
The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the cabin is stored in the roof side( between the front pillar and a point over the rear seat). An“ SRS AIRBAG” mark is located at the top of each center pillar.
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the side window and supplements the seatbelt by reducing the impact on the occupant’ s head.
In a rollover, SRS curtain airbags on both sides of the vehicle deploy between the occupant and the side window and supplement the seatbelt by reducing the impact to the occupant’ s head.
In an offset frontal collision, SRS curtain airbags on both sides of the vehicle deploy between the occupant and the side window and supplement the seatbelt by reducing the impact to the occupant’ s head and chest.
▼ Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the“ ON” position.
The following airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sensor.
� Driver’ s SRS side airbag � Front passenger’ s SRS side airbag � SRS curtain airbag( right-hand side) � SRS curtain airbag( left-hand side)
Therefore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploys independently of the driver’ s and front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel.
For the locations of the sensors and control modules, refer to " Components " �P70. ▼ After deployment
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag immediately starts to deflate.
The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated for a while following deployment then slowly deflates.
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploy even when no one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied.
