Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags

– CONTINUED –

" When will the SRS frontal airbag not deploy?

The SRS frontal airbag is basically not designed to de-

ploy 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.

1) First impact
2) Second impact

In an accident where the vehicle is impacted more

than once, the SRS frontal airbag deploys only once.

Example: In the case of a double collision, first with an-

other vehicle, then against a concrete wall in immedi-

ate succession, once the SRS frontal airbag is activat-

ed on the first impact, it will not be activated on the

second.
