Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
CONTINUED
B) The vehicle is struck from behind.
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are basi-
cally not designed to deploy if the vehicle is involved in
a frontal collision or is struck from behind. Examples of
such accidents are illustrated.
A) First impact
B) Second impact
a) SRS curtain airbag
b) SRS side airbag
In an accident where the vehicle is struck from the side
more than once, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag deploys only once on the first impact.
Example: In the case of a double side impact collision,
first with one vehicle and immediately followed by an-
other from the same direction, once the SRS side air-
bag and SRS curtain airbag are activated on the first
impact, they will not be activated on the second.
! SRS airbag system monitors
A diagnostic system continually monitors the readi-
ness of the SRS airbag system (including front seat-
belt pretensioners) while the vehicle is being driven.
The SRS airbag system warning light “AIRBAG” will
show normal system operation by lighting for about 6
seconds when the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
