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.
