Impacts below a pre-determined threshold level may not cause the
airbag to deploy in the following cases:
•
CCoolllliissiioonn wwiitthh UUttiilliittyy PPoolleess oorr TTrreeeess --
Airbags may not inflate if the vehicle collides with objects such as
utility poles or trees, where the point of impact is concentrated
to one area and the full force of the impact is not delivered to the
sensors.
In case of less severe frontal accidents, seatbelts alone are
effective to reduce the severity of injury to occupants,
seatbelt pretensioners may trigger to further reduce the
severity of injury in such accidents and airbags are may not
intended to deploy
• UUnnddeerr--rriiddee SSiittuuaattiioonnss --
Running under a truck may not provide the decelerations
necessary for airbag deployment. Airbags will not inflate in this
“under-ride” situation where deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors are significantly low.
