Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.
OJX1039037OJX1039037
Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
Information
With rollover sensor
The side and curtain air bags and front
centre air bag may inflate in a rollover
situation, when it is detected by the
rollover sensor.
Information
Without rollover sensor
The side and/or curtain air bags and front
centre air bag may inflate when the vehicle
is rolled over by a side impact collision, if
the vehicle is equipped with side and/or
curtain air bags.
OJX1039036OJX1039036
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility poles
or trees, where the point of impact is
concentrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.
