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 deployment
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...
