A side airbag and curtain airbag are designed to deploy when
the vehicle suffers a moderate to severe side impact to the mid-
dle of the passenger compartment.
The typical situation is shown in the illustration.
The seat belts in your vehicle are your primary means of pro-
tection in an accident. The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to provide
additional protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety
of all occupants, be sure to always wear your seat belts prop-
erly.
The side airbag and curtain airbag MAY NOT
DEPLOY when …
In certain types of side collisions, the side airbag and curtain
airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body
seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure is
designed to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help
protect the occupants. Some typical situations where the side
airbag and curtain airbag may not deploy are shown in the
illustrations.
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the
occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always wear
your seat belts properly.
Moderate to severe impact to the middle of the vehicle body’s
side structure
