The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY NOT
DEPLOY when …
In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags and
driver’s knee airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of
the body seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body struc-
ture is designed to absorb the impact and deform in order to
help protect the occupants. Some typical situations where the
front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy are
shown in the illustrations.
Because the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag do not pro-
tect the occupant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to
always wear your seat belts properly.
Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
Collision where the vehicle slides under the rear body of a
truck
