▽Examples of the types of acci -
dents in which the SRS side
airbag and SRS curtain airbag
are not designed to deploy in
most cases1) The vehicle is involved in frontal colli- sion with another vehicle (moving or stationary).
2) The vehicle is struck from behind.
3) The vehicle pitches end over end.
In the event of accidents like those illus-
trated, the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag are not designed to deploy
in most cases.1) First impact
2) Second impact
A) SRS curtain airbag
B) SRS side airbagIn an accident where the vehicle is struck
from the side more than once, the SRS
side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploy
only once on the first impact.
Example: In the case of a double side
impact collision, first with one vehicle and
immediately followed by another from the same direction, once the SRS side airbag
and SRS curtain airbag are activated on
the first impact, they will not be activated
on the second.
