Honda CR-V: Airbags / Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags:
- Front airbags: Airbags in front of the driver's and front
passenger's seats.
- Side airbags: Airbags in the driver's and front passenger's
seat-backs.
- Side curtain airbags: Airbags above the side windows.
Each is discussed in the following pages.
The airbags can inflate whenever the ignition switch
is in ON *1.
*1: Models with the smart entry system have an ENGINE
START/STOP button instead of an ignition switch.
After an airbag inflates in a crash, you may see a
small amount of smoke. This is from the combustion
process of the inflator material and is not harmful.
People with respiratory problems may experience
some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of
the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
The front, front side, and side curtain
airbags are deployed according to the
direction and severity of impact. Both side
curtain airbags are deployed in a rollover...
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to
help protect
the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed
to
supplement seat belts, not replace them...
