Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
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.
For XV CROSSTREK models, 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.
An impact sensor, which senses impact
force, is located in each of the following
locations.
. In the left and right front doors
. In the left and right center pillars
. In the left and right rear wheel houses
. Under the rear center seat
For XV CROSSTREK models, a rollover
sensor is also located inside the airbag
control module.
If both of the following sensors together
sense an impact force above a predetermined level in a side collision, the control
module causes both the SRS side airbag
and curtain airbag on the impacted side
to inflate regardless of whether the rear
wheel house impact sensor on the same
side senses an impact.
. the impact sensor that is located under
the rear center seat
. one of the center pillar impact sensors
or front door impact sensors
If both of the following sensors together
sense an impact force above a predetermined level in a side collision, the control
module causes only the SRS curtain
airbag on the impacted side to inflate.
. the impact sensor that is located under
the rear center seat
. one of the rear wheel house impact
sensors
For XV CROSSTREK models, if the rollover sensor detects rollover of the vehicle,
the control module inflates the SRS
curtain airbags on both sides. At this
time, the driver’s and front passenger’s
seatbelt pretensioners also operate at the
same time.
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag
immediately starts to deflate. The time
required from detection of an impact to
deflation of an SRS side airbag after
deployment is shorter than the blink of
an eye.
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.
