Subaru Forester: SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag) / Example of the type of accident
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are designed
as follows.
- To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe frontal
collision
- To function on a one-time-only basis
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are not
designed as follows.
- To deploy in most lesser frontal impacts*1
- To deploy in most side or rear impacts or in most rollover accidents*2
*1: Because the necessary protection can be
achieved by the seatbelt alone.
*2: Because deployment of only the driver’s
SRS frontal airbag or both the driver’s and
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags would not protect the occupant in those
situations.
SRS airbag deployment depends on the
level of force experienced in the passenger
compartment during a 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 itself.
A head-on collision against a thick concrete
wall at a vehicle speed of 12 to 19
mph (20 to 30 km/h) or higher activates
only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbags...
