Air bag - supplemental restraint system
僅 However, if equipped with side and
curtain air bags, the air bags may
inflate depending on the intensity,
vehicle speed and angles of impact.
僅 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 ben
-
efit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air bags.
僅 Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to “ride” under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
“under-ride” collisions.
僅 Front air bags may not inflate in roll
-
over accidents because front air bag
deployment would not provide addi
-
tional occupant protection.
NOTICE
If equipped with rollover sensor
However, if equipped with side and cur

tain air bags, the air bags may inflate in
a rollover, when it is detected by the roll

over sensor.
