The side airbag and curtain airbag MAY NOT
DEPLOY when...
In certain types of side collisions, the side airbag and curtain
airbag may not deploy, even if the deformation of the body
seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body structure is
designed to absorb the impact and to deform in order to help
protect the occupants. There are also cases where the side air-
bag and curtain airbag may not deploy at the same time,
depending on the location of the impact. Some typical situa-
tions where the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy
are shown in the illustrations.
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags do not protect the
occupant in all types of side collisions, be sure to always wear
the seat belts properly.
Side impact in an area away from the passenger compartment
Motorcycle or other similar small vehicle collision with the
side of vehicle
Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow object
