If the seatbelt pretensioners or front
airbags do not activate for both front seat
occupants in a crash, it does not mean that
something is wrong with the system.
Rather, it means the restraints control
module determined the accident
conditions (crash severity, belt usage)
were not appropriate to activate these
safety devices.
•
The design of the front airbags is to
activate only in frontal and near-frontal
crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or
rear impacts unless the crash causes
sufficient frontal deceleration).
•
The design of the seatbelt
pretensioners is to activate in frontal,
near-frontal and side crashes and
rollovers.
•
The knee airbag(s) may deploy based
on crash severity and occupant
conditions.
•
The design of the side airbags is to
inflate in certain side crashes. Side
airbags may activate in other types of
crashes if the vehicle experiences
sufficient sideways motion or
deformation.
AIRBAG DISPOSAL
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Airbags must be disposed of by
qualified personnel.
