Airbag inflation conditions
ONX4030046
Front airbags
Front airbags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact.
ONX4030050
OTM030033
Side and curtain airbags
Side and curtain airbags are designed
to inflate when an impact is detected by
side collision sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a side
impact collision.
Although the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions and side and
curtain airbags are designed to inflate
in side impact collisions, airbags may
inflate in other types of collisions if the
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain airbags inflate
when a rollover is detected by a rollover
sensor.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the airbags may deploy. Drive carefully
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended airbag deployment.
Airbag non-inflation conditions
ONX4030047
In certain low-speed collisions, the
airbags may not deploy. The airbags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
