1. When colliding with a utility pole,
tree or other narrow object. 2. Vehicle
slides under the rear body of a truck
3. Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag do not protect the
occupant in all types of frontal
collisions, be sure to always properly
wear your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag ARE NOT DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag are not designed to deploy in
conditions where they cannot typically
provide protection to the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1. Rear end collisions 2. Side
collisions 3. Vehicle rolls onto its side
or roof
Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag do not protect the
occupant in all types of collisions, be
sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy if the bottom of the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe
impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions
are shown in the illustration.
1. Collision with an elevated
median/island or kerb 2. Vehicle travels
over a deep hole/pothole 3. Vehicle
drives down a steep slope and hits the
ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag may deploy in certain types
of unexpected impacts as shown in the
illustration that can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat
belts will help keep you a safe distance
from the steering wheel and instrument
panel during the initial stages of airbag
deployment. The initial stage of airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can
possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.
