The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag MAY
DEPLOY when …
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag 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 airbags and driver’s knee airbag may deploy
in certain types of unexpected impacts, as shown in the illustra-
tions, and these unexpected impacts can move you out of posi-
tion, it is important to always wear your seat belts properly.
When worn properly, seat belts can help maintain your distance
from the airbags and driver’s knee airbag when they begin to
inflate. The beginning stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful and can cause serious injury or death if you are close
to the deploying airbag.
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
