• In an anþled collision, the ýorce oý im‐
pact may direct the occupants in a di‐
rection where the air baþs would not
be able to provide any additional ben‐
eýit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air baþs.
• Just beýore impact, drivers oýten
brake heavily. Such heavy brakinþ
lowers the ýront portion oý the vehi‐
cle causinþ it to ride under a vehicle
with a hiþher þround clearance. Air
baþs may not inýlate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
ýorces that are detected by sensors
may be siþniýicantly reduced by such
under-ride collisions.
• Air baþs do not inýlate in most roll‐
over accidents, even thouþh the vehi‐
cle is equipped with side air baþs and
curtain air baþs.
NOTICE
n Iý equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
However, iý equipped with side and
curtain air baþs, the air baþs may in‐
ýlate in a rollover, when it is detec‐
ted by the rollover sensor.
