Front passenger occupant classification sensors SRS warning light Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US motor vehicle safety standards ( FMVSS208 ). The airbag sensor assembly ( ECU ) controls airbag deployment based on information obtained from the sensors etc . shown in the system components diagram above . This information includes crash severity and occupant information . 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 .
■ If the SRS airbags deploy ( inflate )
●Slight abrasions , burns , bruising etc ., may be sustained from SRS airbags , due to the extremely high speed deployment ( inflation ) by hot gases .
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted .
●Parts 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 .
● The windshield may crack .
●The EV system will be stopped . ( �P . 78 )
●All of the doors will be unlocked . ( �P . 166 )
●The brakes and stop lights will be controlled automatically . ( �P . 391 )
● The interior lights will turn on automatically . ( �P . 419 )
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically . ( �P . 508 )
●For SUBARU SOLTERRA CON-
NECT subscribers , if any of the following situations occur , the system is designed to send an emergency call to the response 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
automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services . ( �P . 61 )
• An SRS airbag is deployed .
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated .
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision .
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions ( SRS front airbags )
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level ( the level of force corresponding
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph [ 20 - 30 km / h ] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or
deform ).
However , this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situations :
• 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
