Air Bag Operation
XX
XX
X The air bag inflates when:
• In response to a severe frontal impact, the driver’s and front
passenger’s air bags deploy at the same time to supple-
ment the seat belts to prevent or reduce any personal injuries.
XX

X The air bag can inflate when:
• Underbody impact from the road surface; impact against
the curb at a very high speed; dropping impact onto the
road surface with a large angle
XX

X The air bag does not inflate when:
• Rollover, side impact or rear impact
• If the severity of impact to the vehicle is not significant and
the seat belts are enough to protect occupants.
XX
XX
X The air bag seldom inflates when:
• Oblique impact, rollover
• Weak impact in which the sensor is unable to detect (under
the inflation requirements)
• Impact against narrow objects such as a utility pole or a tree
• The vehicle falls into a drainage or a puddle
• The front of the vehicle crashes into a high impact point
vehicle such as a truck
• Impact on the hood by falling stones
• The air bag warning lamp is on
• Moderate or severe impact to the middle of the vehicle body’s
side structure. In that case, only the side curtain air bags deploy.
