SRS airbag ( Supplemental Restraint System airbag ) 105
After deployment , do not touch any part of the SRS curtain airbag system ( from the front pillar to the part of the roof side over the rear seat ). Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment .
! Example of the type of accident
S01AH0305
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are designed as follows :
. To deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to severe side impact collision
. To function on a one-time-only basis
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are not designed to deploy in the following cases :
. In most lesser side impacts
. In most frontal or most rear impacts ( because the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deployment would not protect the occupant in those situations )
The SRS curtain airbags are also designed to deploy when the vehicle is in an extremely inclined state such as during a rollover . They are not designed to deploy in most lesser inclined state .
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deployment depend on the level of force experienced in the passenger compartment during a side impact collision . That level differs from one type of collision to another , and it may have no bearing on the visible damage done to the vehicle itself .
! Example of the type of accident in which the SRS side airbag will most likely deploy
