The side airbags and curtain airbags MAY NOT
DEPLOY when…
With certain types of side collisions, the vehicle’s
body structure is designed to absorb the shock to
help protect the occupants from harm. (The vehicle
body’s side area may deform significantly as it ab-
sorbs the impact.) Under such circumstances, the
side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy ir-
respective of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body. Examples of some typical conditions
are shown in the illustration.
1- Side impacts in an area away from the passen-
ger compartment
2- Motorcycle or other similar small vehicle col-
lides with the side of vehicle
3- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other nar-
row object
4- Oblique side impacts
5- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not
protect the occupant in all types of side collisions,
be sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain airbags ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO DEPLOY when…
The side airbags and curtain airbags are not de-
signed to deploy in conditions where they cannot
usually provide protection to the occupant. Typical
conditions are shown in the illustration.
1- Head-on collisions
2- Rear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not
protect the occupant in all types of collisions, be
sure to always properly wear your seat belts.
WARNING
l
The side airbags and curtain airbags are
designed to supplement the driver and pas-
senger seat belts in certain side impacts.
Seat belts should always be worn proper-
ly, and the driver and passenger should
sit well back and upright without leaning
against the window or door.
