Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.

Side and curtain air bags and front center
side air bag
Side and curtain air bags and the front
center air bag 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 air bags 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 air bags and the
front center side air bag 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 air bags and
the front center side air bag are designed
to inflate when a rollover is detected by a
rollover sensor (if equipped with rollover
sensor).
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.
