! Examples of the types of accidents

in which the SRS side airbag and

SRS curtain airbag will basically not

deploy.

1) The vehicle is involved in frontal collision

with another vehicle (moving or station-

ary).

2) The vehicle is struck from behind.

The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain

airbag are basically not designed to

deploy if the vehicle is involved in a frontal

collision or is struck from behind. Exam-

ples of such accidents are illustrated.

1) First impact

2) Second impact

A) SRS curtain airbag

B) SRS side airbag

In an accident where the vehicle is struck

from the side more than once, the SRS

side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploy

only once on the first impact.

Example: In the case of a double side

impact collision, first with one vehicle and

immediately followed by another from the

same direction, once the SRS side airbag

and SRS curtain airbag are activated on

the first impact, they will not be activated

on the second.

ule or scrapping the entire vehi-

cle damaged by a collision,

consult your SUBARU dealer.

serviceable parts. Do not use

electrical test equipment on any

circuit related to the SRS airbag

system. For required servicing of

the SRS airbag, see your nearest

SUBARU dealer. Tampering with

or disconnecting the system’s

wiring could result in accidental

inflation of the SRS airbag or

could make the system inopera-

tive, which may result in serious

injury. The wiring harnesses of

the SRS airbag system are cov-

ered with yellow insulation and

system connectors are yellow for

easy identification.

ized SUBARU dealer. When the compo-

nents of the SRS airbag system are
