The front air bags MAY DEPLOY when …
The front air bags may deploy if the underside of the vehicle
suffers a moderate to severe impact (undercarriage impact).
Some typical situations are shown in the illustrations.
Because the front air bags may deploy in certain types of unex-
pected impacts, as shown in the illustrations, and these unex-
pected impacts can move you out of position, it is important to
always wear your seat belts properly. When worn properly, seat
belts can help maintain your distance from the air bags when
they begin to inflate. The beginning stage of air bag inflation is
the most forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you
are close to the deploying air bag.
Collision with an elevated
median/island or curb
Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
Vehicle drives down a steep slope and
hits the ground
