Airbag non-inflation conditions
• In collisions, the vehicle safety
belts are sufficient to protect the
vehicle occupants and the airbags
may not deploy. In some cases,
deploying airbags in low-speed
collisions can cause a secondary
impact to the occupants (light abra-
sions, cuts, burns, etc.), or loss of
vehicle control.

• Airbags may not inflate in rear col-
lisions, because occupants are
moved backward by the force of
the impact. In this case, the
airbags do not provide proper pro-
tection.

However, side airbags

on the intensity, vehicle speed and
angles of impact.
