HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKS
In the event of a collision, the airbag control 
unit monitors the rate of deceleration induced 
by the collision, to determine whether the 
airbags should be deployed.
Operation of the airbag SRS is dependent on 
the rate at which the vehicles passenger 
compartment changes speed as a result of a 
collision. The circumstances affecting different 
collisions (vehicle speed, angle of impact, type 
and size of object hit, for example), vary 
considerably and will...

Occupant detection
The front passenger seat is equipped with an 
occupancy sensor which measures the weight 
on the cushion and changes the passenger 
airbag status.
The occupancy sensor operates as follows:
† It is possible to receive an intermittent 
indicator with an empty seat condition. This is 
part of the system’s adaptive behaviour, and 
does not affect the status of the passenger 
airbag. However, if the indicator becomes 
permanently illuminated when the seat is 
definitely...

AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
Frontal and side thorax airbags
Note: Airbags will only deploy when they are 
required to supplement the restraining force of 
the front seat belts.
In the case of a severe frontal collision, both 
front airbags will be deployed. In the case of a 
severe side collision, only the side thorax 
airbags and side head impact protection airbag 
on the impacted side of the vehicle will inflate. 
However, there may also be impact conditions 
whereby one set of side and both...
