When a side airbag deploys with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden acceleration, a strong impact to the side of the
vehicle's framework can cause a side airbag to deploy. In such cases, there may be little or no
damage, but the side impact sensors detected a severe enough impact to deploy the airbag.
■
When a side airbag may not deploy, even though visible damage appears severe
It is possible for a side airbag not to deploy during an impact that results in apparently severe
damage. This can occur when the point of impact was towards the far front or rear of the
vehicle, or when the vehicle's crushable body parts absorbed most of the crash energy. In
either case, the side airbag would not have been needed nor provided protection even if it
had deployed.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers without consulting a dealer.
Improperly replacing or covering front seat-back covers can prevent your side airbags from
properly deploying during a side impact.
Do not let the front passenger lean sideways with their head in the deployment path of the
side airbag.
An inflating side airbag can strike with strong force and seriously injure the passenger.
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help to protect the heads of the driver and passengers in outer
seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact.
The side curtain airbags are most effective when an occupant is wearing their seat belt
properly and sitting upright, well back in their seat.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars as they can interfere with the
proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not put a coat hanger or hard objects on a coat hook. This could result in injuries if your
side curtain airbag inflates.
