the SRS curtain airbag on the impacted

side to inflate.

If the rollover sensor detects rollover of the

vehicle, the control module inflates the

curtain airbags.

After the deployment, the SRS side airbag

immediately starts to deflate. The time

required from detection of an impact to

deflation of an SRS side airbag after

deployment is shorter than the blink of

an eye. The SRS curtain airbags remain

inflated for a while following deployment

then slowly deflates.

The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain

airbags deploy even when no one occu-

pies the seat on the side on which an

impact is applied.

When the SRS side airbag and SRS

curtain airbags deploy, a sudden, fairly

loud inflation noise will be heard and some

smoke will be released. These occur-

rences are a normal result of the deploy-

ment. This smoke does not indicate a fire

in the vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not touch the SRS side airbag

system components around the

front seat seatback with bare hands

right after deployment. Doing so can

cause burns because the compo-

nents can be very hot as a result of

deployment.

After deployment, do not touch any

part of the SRS curtain airbag

system (from the front pillar to the

part of the roof side over the rear

seat). Doing so can cause burns

because the components can be

very hot as a result of deployment.

The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain

airbags are designed to deploy in the

event of an accident involving a moderate

to severe side impact collision. Also, in the

case of a rollover, the SRS curtain airbags

deploy. They are not designed to deploy in

most lesser side impacts. Also, they are

not designed to deploy in most frontal or

most rear impacts because SRS side

airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploy-

ment would not help the occupant in those

situations.

Each SRS side airbag and SRS curtain

airbags are designed to function on a one-

time-only basis.

SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag

deployment depend on the level of force

experienced in the passenger compart-

ment during a side impact collision. That

level differs from one type of collision to

another, and it may have no bearing on

the visible damage done to the vehicle

itself. Also, the SRS curtain airbags

deploy depending on the vehicle’s position

and inclination at the time of the rollover.

! Example of the type of accident in

which the SRS side airbag will most

likely deploy

A severe side impact near the front seat

activates the SRS side airbag and SRS

curtain airbag.
