Front airbag deployment conditions

The amount of damage (or the lack of
damage) a vehicle body suffers does not
necessarily indicate whether the SRS
airbag should or should not have de-
ployed in an impact.
In certain types of collisions, the vehicle's

body structure is designed to absorb the
impact to prevent the occupants from
injury.
Therefore, even when the front of the

vehicle suffers a significant deformation,
the SRS airbag might not deploy because
the impact was absorbed by the col-
lapsible nature of the body structure.
The front airbag may not deploy;
