nWhen will the SRS side airbag not deploy?
HG1022BB
1) The vehicle is involved in a frontal colli-
sion with another vehicle (moving or stationary).
2) The vehicle is struck from behind. The SRS side airbag is basically not designed to
deploy if the vehicle is involved in a frontal collision
or is struck from behind. Examples of such acci-
dents are illustrated.
In an accident where the vehicle is struck from the
side more than once, the SRS side airbag deploys only once.
Example: In the case of a double side impact colli-sion, first with one vehicle and immediately followed
by another from the same direction, the SRS sideairbag is activated on the first impact but not on the second.HG1028BB
1) First impact 2) Second impact
