Subaru Legacy: 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 stationary).
2) The vehicle is struck from behind.
3) The vehicle pitches end over end.
In the event of accidents like those illustrated, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are basically not designed to deploy.
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.
Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS curtain airbag is unlikely to deploy.
