Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - supplemental restraint system
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact
is detected by side collision sensors
depending on the strength, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a
side impact collision.
Although the front air bags (driver䳓s
and front passenger䳓s air bags) are
designed to inflate only in frontal
collisions, they also may inflate in
other types of collisions if the front
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate only in side
impact collisions, but they may
inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy.
Drive carefully on unimproved roads
or on surfaces not designed for
vehicle traffic to prevent unintended
air bag deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
䳜 In certain low-speed collisions the
air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are designed not to deploy in
such cases because they may not
provide benefits beyond the pro
-
tection of the seat belts in such
collisions.
䳜 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 benefit.
