Essential Safety Equipment

SRS Air Bags

 Limitations to SRS Air Bag

            In  severe  collisions  such  as  those  described  previously  in  "SRS  Air  Bag  Deployment 
Criteria", the applicable SRS air bag equipment will deploy. However, in some accidents, 
the equipment may not deploy depending on the type of collision and its severity.

Limitations to front/near front collision detection:

  The following illustrations are examples of front/near front collisions that may not be 
detected as severe enough to deploy the SRS air bag equipment.

Impacts involving trees or poles

Frontal offset impact to the vehicle

Rear-ending or running under a truck's tail gate
