Subaru FORESTER 5th Generation 2019-2024 Examples of SRS Side and Curtain Airbag Deployment

Examples of SRS Side and Curtain Airbag Deployment

Accidents in which the SRS curtain airbag will most likely deploy:

1. The vehicle is involved in a severe side impact near the front seat or the rear seat.
2. The vehicle rolls onto its side or the roof.
3. The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal or the skidding vehicle’s tires hit a curbstone laterally.
4. An offset frontal collision severe enough to deploy the front airbag.

Accidents in which the SRS side and curtain airbags may deploy:

1. Hitting a curb, edge of pavement, or hard surface.
2. Falling into or jumping over a deep hole.
3. Landing hard or vehicle falling.

It is possible that the SRS side and curtain airbags will deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle.

Accidents in which the SRS side airbag is unlikely to deploy:

1. The vehicle is involved in an oblique side-on impact.
2. The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact in an area outside the passenger compartment.
3. The vehicle strikes a telephone pole or similar object.
4. The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact from a motorcycle.
5. The vehicle rolls onto its side or the roof.

Accidents in which the SRS curtain airbag is unlikely to deploy:

1. The vehicle is involved in an oblique side-on impact.
2. The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact in an area outside the passenger compartment.
3. The vehicle strikes a telephone pole or similar object.

Accidents in which SRS side and curtain airbags are not designed to deploy:

1. The vehicle is involved in a frontal collision with another vehicle (moving or stationary).
2. The vehicle is struck from behind.
3. The vehicle pitches end over end.

In an accident with multiple side impacts, SRS side and curtain airbags deploy only once on the first impact.

SRS Airbag System Monitoring

The SRS airbag system is continuously monitored while driving. The warning light indicates normal operation by illuminating for approximately 6 seconds when the ignition is turned to “ON”.

• Monitored components include:
• Front sub sensors (right and left-hand side)
• Airbag control module (including impact and rollover sensors)
• Frontal airbag modules (driver and passenger sides)
• Knee airbag module (driver’s side)
• Side airbag sensors (center pillar left and right)
• Front door impact sensors (left and right)
• Side airbag modules (driver and passenger sides)
• Curtain airbag sensors (rear wheel house left and right)
• Curtain airbag modules (left and right)
• Satellite safing sensor (under rear center seat)
• Seatbelt pretensioners (driver and passenger sides)
• Lap belt pretensioner (front passenger side)
• Seatbelt buckle switch (front passenger side)
• Front passenger occupant detection system sensor and control module
• Front passenger frontal airbag ON/OFF indicator
• All related wiring

SRS Airbag System Servicing

Replacement or repairs after deployment should be performed only by an authorized SUBARU dealer using genuine parts.
