The safety belt pretensioners and the airbag supplemental restraint
system are designed to activate when the vehicle sustains frontal
deceleration sufficient to cause the restraints control module to deploy a
safety device.
The fact that the safety belt pretensioners or airbags did not activate in a
crash does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it
means the restraints control module determined the accident conditions
(such as crash severity, belt usage) were not appropriate to activate
these safety devices.
•
The design of the front airbags is to activate only in frontal and
near-frontal crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or rear impacts)
unless the crash causes sufficient frontal deceleration.
•
The design of the safety belt pretensioners is to activate in frontal or
near-frontal crashes and may deploy in rollovers if the vehicle is
equipped with roll stability control.
AIRBAG DISPOSAL
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Airbags must be
