Subaru Forester: SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag / Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag can function only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
The following airbags deploy independently
of each other since each has its
own impact sensor.
- Driver’s SRS side airbag
- Front passenger’s SRS side airbag
- SRS curtain airbag (right-hand side)
- SRS curtain airbag (left-hand side)
Therefore, they may not both deploy in the
same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag
and SRS curtain airbag deploys independently
of the driver’s and front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbags in the steering wheel
and instrument panel.
For the locations of the sensors and
control modules, refer to “Components”.
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag
immediately starts to deflate. The time
required from detection of an impact to
deflation of an SRS side airbag after
deployment is shorter than the blink of an
eye...
Other information:
Your vehicle is designed and intended to
be used primarily as a passenger-carrying
vehicle. Towing a trailer puts additional
loads on your vehicle’s engine, drivetrain,
brakes, tires and suspension and has an
adverse effect on fuel economy.
If you do decide to tow a trailer, your safety
and satisfaction depend upon proper use
of correct equipment and cautious operation
of your vehicle...
When the Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) system is in operation, the range
between the vehicle and the detected
object will be indicated on the audio/navigation monitor. Also, warning sounds
will activate in 3 levels to warn the driver of
a potential collision...
