Airbag inflation conditions
Front airbags
OIK033075
Front airbags are designed to inflate in a
frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact.
Side and curtain airbags and front center
side airbag
OIK033076L
OIK033077
Side and curtain airbags and the front
center side airbag 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, they also may
inflate in other types of collisions if the
front impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Side and curtain airbags and the
front center side airbag are designed to
inflate in side impact collisions, but they
may inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain airbags and the
front center side airbag are designed to
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
OIK033078
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.
