For safety and security
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 sever-
ity 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 (steer-
ing 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 auto-
matically. (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 sys-
tem is designed to send an emer-
gency 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 ser-
vices. (P.6 1)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti-
vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe
rear-end collision.
■ SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (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 follow-
ing 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
