Car SRS front airbag system deployment
SRS airbag system The SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants. SRS airbag deployment conditions Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners if equipped will activate. The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level, the level of force corresponding to an approximately twenty (20) to thirty (30) kph or twelve (12) to eighteen (18) mph frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform. However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situations; 1. If the car strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole which can move or deform on impact. 2. If the vehicle is involved in an under-ride collision such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle under-rides or goe...
