Deployment Levels For Airbags And Seat Belt Tensioners (2001-)

The chart below shows how the SRS system in model year 2001- reacts in the event of a frontal impact.

Level 1= Low speed collision

Level 5= Heavy collision

Collision level	Front seats
	Seat belt not in use	Seat belt in use
Level 1	No action	The seat belt tensioner is activated. The airbags are not deployed.
Level 2	The seat belt tensioner is not activated. The airbags are deployed with a slow build-up of pressure.	The seat belt tensioner is activated. The airbags are not deployed.
Level 3	The seat belt tensioner is not activated. The airbags are deployed with a slow build-up of pressure.	The seat belt tensioner is activated. The airbags are deployed with a slow build-up of pressure.
Level 4	The seat belt tensioner is not activated. The airbags are deployed with a rapid build-up of pressure.	The seat belt tensioner is activated. The airbags are deployed with a slow build-up of pressure.
Level 5	The seat belt tensioner is not activated. The airbags are deployed with a rapid build-up of pressure.	The seat belt tensioner is activated. The airbags are deployed with a rapid build-up of pressure.

NOTE:

The deployment of the driver and passenger airbags is calculated individually.
