• Frontal air bags are not designed
to inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward by
the force of the impact.
In this
case, inflated air bags would not be
able to provide any additional ben-
efit.
• Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side
impacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.
However, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate depending on
the intensity, vehicle speed and
angles of impact.
• In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in
a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags.
