⦆
Driver and passenger’s (front) air bags and seat
belt pre-tensioner deploy and operate in frontal
collisions that exceed the threshold to activate
the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System).
⦆
The specific value is the equivalent impact when
a vehicle collides against a concrete (fixed) wall
at approximately 25 km/h (16 mph) or more.
⦆
The front air bags and pre-tensioner may not
work under the following conditions:
⦆
A frontal collision is less than the specific
value.
⦆
The collision is from the rear
⦆
The collision is from the side
⦆
The vehicle rolls over or is in a similar
position.
⦆
The side-airbags may not work under the
following conditions:
⦆
The collision is from the front
⦆
The collision is from the rear
⦆
To provide a better safety upon impact, the driver's
and front passenger's air bags, side air bags,
curtain air bags and seat belts with pre-tensioner
have been installed to all the vehicles as standard.
⦆
The SRS is a system that is effective with the seat
belt fastened, and it is designed as a supplemental
system of the seat belt.
⦆
The advanced air bag system has been adopted to
the driver's and front passenger's sides. When a
frontal impact exceeds the threshold upon a frontal
collision, or depending on the seat position (driver's
seat side), the air bag inflates the cushion air bag in
two stages, improving the protection for the front
seat passengers.
⦆
The side-airbag is activated when an impact
exceeds the threshold upon a side collision, and the
cushion air bag is instantaneously inflated to protect
the chest area of the front seat passengers.
⦆
The curtain air bag is activated simultaneously with
the side-airbag upon a side collision to protect the
heads of the front seat and second seat
passengers.
⦆
All the air bag modules are equipped with the
inflator that does not contain toxic sodium azide.
⦆
The seat belt pre-tensioner is activated
simultaneously with the deployment of driver's and
passenger's (front) air bags in case of a frontal
collision. Seat belts are pulled in to eliminate the
slack upon a collision, thus improving the initial
occupant restraint, and reducing the travel distance
of the occupants. For the driver's seat, in addition
to the seat belt pre-tensioner for the shoulder side,
the lap pre-tensioner has been installed on the outer
seat belt lower anchor side in order to improve the
restraining performance in the waist and the chest
areas.
