Deployment of front air bags
E00407501064
The front air bags ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when...
The front air bags are designed to deploy when the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate to severe frontal impact. A typical condition is
shown in the illustration.
The front air bags will deploy if the severity of impact is above
the designed threshold level, comparable to an approximately
25 km/h (15 mph) collision when impacting straight into a
solid wall that does not move or deform. If the severity of the
impact is below the above threshold level, the front air bags
may not deploy. However, this threshold speed will be consid-
erably higher if the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the
impact by either deforming or moving (for example, another
stationary vehicle, pole or a guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position,
it is important to always properly wear your seat belts. Your
seat belts will help keep you in a safe distance from the steer-
ing wheel and instrument panel during the initial stages of air
bag deployment. The initial stage of air bag inflation is the
most forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries.
Moreover, the seat belts in your vehicle are your primary
means of protection in a collision. The SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System) air bags are designed to provide additional
protection. Therefore, for your safety and the safety of all occu-
pants, be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
