The side air bags and curtain air bags MAY NOT
DEPLOY when…
With certain types of side collisions, the vehicle’s body struc-
ture is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the occu-
pants from harm. (The vehicle body’s side area may deform
significantly as it absorbs the impact.) Under such circum-
stances, the side air bags and curtain air bags may not deploy
irrespective of the deformation and damage to the vehicle
body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustra-
tion.
Because the side air bags and curtain air bags do not protect the
occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts.
Side impacts in an area away from the passenger compart-
ment
Motorcycle or other similar small vehicle collides with the
side of vehicle
Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
