Safety features of your vehicle
• Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “under-ride” colli-
sions.
• Air bags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because air bag deploy-
ment would not provide protection
to the occupants.
However, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate when the vehi-
cle is rolled over by a side impact
collision, if the vehicle is equipped
with side impact air bags and cur-
tain air bags.
• Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-
cle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the
point of impact is concentrated and
the collision energy is absorbed by
the vehicle structure.
