nExamples of the types of accidents in which the SRS frontal
airbag will basically not deploy.
The SRS frontal airbag is basically not designed to deploy if the
vehicle is struck from side or from behind, or if it rolls onto its side or
roof, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision.
HB1044AB

then against a concrete wall in immediate succession, once the SRS
frontal airbag is activated on the first impact, it will not be activated onthe second.
