8810-00

The front air bags and side air bags are activated independently according to the area and amount of

an impact.

02-14

The air bag will be deployed when:

▶

The air bag can be deployed when:

▶

the impact or type of a frontal collision is too much for the seat belt to protect the occupant.

-

a collision to diagonal direction (not a frontal collision) occurs or the vehicle tips over.

a minor collision which the air bag sensor cannot detect occurs (impact is lower than that of

operating condition).

a collision against narrow objects, such as a telegraph pole or a tree, occurs.

the vehicle goes into a drainage or a puddle.

the vehicle wedges under a truck or a trailer or collides with the underbody of a heavy-duty

vehicle.

the hood is hit by falling stones.

the air bag warning lamp is on.

-

-

-

-

-

the vehicle rolls over or tips over sideward, or a side/rear collision occurs.

the impact of the collision is low enough for the seat belt to protect the occupant properly.

-

The air bag will be hardly deployed when:

▶

2) Front Air Bag System Operating Process

(1) Front air bag system deployment conditions

there is underbody impact from the road surface, impact against the curb at a very high speed, or

dropping impact onto the road surface with a large angle.

-

The air bag will not be deployed when:

▶

(2) Front air bag system deployment

When a collision occurs the air bag unit receives the signal from the front impact sensor and ignites the

-

a collision with oblique impact to the front seat direction or a frontal collision to the diagonal direction

occurs.

a frontal or rear collision occurs.

the vehicle rolls over or tips over sideward with a minor impact.

the air bag warning lamp is on.

-

-

-

-

the vehicle is stationary or a frontal collision occurs at low speed.

a rear collision occurs.

the impact of the collision is low enough for the seat belt to protect the occupant properly.

-

The air bag will be hardly deployed when:

▶

3) Side Air bag System Operating Process

(1) Side air bag system deployment conditions

the vehicle rolls over or tips over sideward with a severe impact.

the vehicle is stationary or a frontal collision occurs at low speed.

a rear collision occurs.

the impact of the collision is low enough for the seat belt to protect the occupant properly.

(2) Side air bag system deployment

The side air bag system is activated in the event of a left side or right side collision. The seat side air bags

are installed to the driver and passenger seat (one on each seat) and the curtain air bags are installed in

the end of the roof located on the upper sides of both doors. The side air bags and the curtain air bags are

operated by the same signal. The air bags of the driver seat and passenger seat are operated separately

according to the impact position (left side, right side).
