SRS airbag( Supplemental Restraint System airbag) 109
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
