Subaru Forester: SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag) / Example of the type of accident
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are designed as follows:
- To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe side impact
collision
- To function on a one-time-only basis
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are not designed to deploy in the
following cases:
- In most lesser side impacts
- In most frontal or most rear impacts
(because the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deployment would not protect
the occupant in those situations)
The SRS curtain airbags are also designed
to deploy when the vehicle is in an
extremely inclined state such as during a
rollover. They are not designed to deploy in
most lesser inclined state.
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag
deployment depend on the level of force
experienced in the passenger compartment
during a side impact 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.
