• Under-ride Situations
Running under a truck's tail gate may not provide the decelerations necessary for
airbag deployment. 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. Airbags may not inflate in this “under-ride”
situation where deceleration forces that are detected by sensors may be
significantly reduced by such ‘under-ride’ collisions.

Frontal airbags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, where occupants are
moved backward away from the airbags by the force of the impact. In this case,
inflated airbags would not be able to provide any additional benefit.
• Frontal Impact
Frontal impact beyond 30º range from head-on to the vehicle.
• Pot Holes or Stepped Surfaces
Driving into a big pot-hole, stepped surface or hitting the far side of a hole/incline
will not inflate the airbag.
