Safety features of your vehicle Air bag - supplemental restraint system
䳜 However, if equipped with side
and curtain air bags, the air bags
may inflate depending on the
intensity, vehicle speed and
angles of impact.
䳜 In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants
in a direction where the air bags
would not be able to provide any
additional benefit, and thus the
sensors may not deploy any air
bags.
䳜 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 "under-ride" situa
-
tion because deceleration forces
that are detected by sensors may
be significantly replaced by such
"under-ride" collisions.
䳜 Air bags may not inflate in roll
-
over accidents because the vehicle
can not detect rollover accident.
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle
is rolled over following (or after)
side impact collision.
