The front airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions, the vehicle’s body
structure is designed to absorb the shock to help protect the
occupants from harm (the vehicle body’s front area may
deform significantly as it absorbs the impact). Under such cir-
cumstances, the front airbags may not deploy irrespective of
the deformation and damage to the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustra-
tion.
Because the front airbags do not protect the occupant in all
types of frontal collisions, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.
The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags are not designed to deploy in conditions
where they cannot typically provide protection to the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the illustration.
Because the front airbags do not protect the occupant in all
types of collisions, be sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.
