Honda CR-V: Front Airbags (SRS) / Operation
Front airbags are designed to inflate during moderate-to-severe frontal
collisions.
When the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the sensors send information to the
control
unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate.
A frontal collision can be either head-on or angled between two vehicles, or
when a
vehicle crashes into a stationary object, such as a concrete wall.
The front airbags are housed in the center of the steering wheel for the
driver, and
in the dashboard for the front passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG...
While your seat belt restrains your torso, the
front airbag provides supplemental protection
for your head and chest.
The front airbags deflate immediately so that
they won't interfere with the driver's visibility
or the ability to steer or operate other
controls...
