Model "A3160BE-C" EDITED: 2010/ 11/ 19
1-64 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
right center pillars and rear wheel houses.
Another impact sensor, which also senses
impact force, is located under the second-
row center seat. In addition, a rollover
sensor is located inside the airbag control
module.
If one of the center pillar impact sensors
and the impact sensor that is located
under the second-row center seat to-
gether sense an impact force above a
predetermined level in a side collision, the
control module causes both the SRS side
airbag and curtain airbag on the impacted
side to inflate regardless of whether the
rear wheel house impact sensor on the
same side senses an impact. At this time,
the drivers and front passengers seatbelt
pretensioners also operate at the same
time.
If one of the rear wheel house impact
sensors and the impact sensor that is
located under the second-row center seat
together sense an impact force above a
predetermined level in a side collision, the
control module c auses only the SRS
curtain airbag on the impacted side to
inflate.
If the rollover sensor detects rollover of the
vehicle, the control module inflates the
SRS curtain airbags. At this time, the
drivers and front passengers seatbelt
pretensioners also operate at the same
time.
After 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 airbag remains inflated
for a while following deployment then
slowly deflates.
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag deploy even when no one occupies
the seat on the side on which an impact is
applied.
When the SRS si de airbag and SRS
curtain airbag 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
airbag 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 airbag
deploys. They are basically not designed
to deploy in a lesser side impact. Also,
they are basically not designed to deploy
in frontal or rear impacts because SRS
side airbag and SRS curtain airbag
deployment would not help the occupant
in those situations.
Each SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag 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
