Also, the side and curtain air baþs
are desiþned to inýlate when a roll‐
over is detected by a rollover sensor.
Air baþ non-inýlation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the air
baþs may not deploy. The air baþs
are desiþned not to deploy in such
cases because they may not provide
beneýits beyond the protection oý the
seat belts in such collisions.

• Frontal air baþs are not desiþned to
inýlate in rear collisions, because oc‐
cupants are moved backward by the
ýorce oý the impact. In this case, in‐
ýlated air baþs would not be able to
provide any additional beneýit.
• Front air baþs may not inýlate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move to the direction oý the collision,
and thus in side impacts, ýrontal air
baþ deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, side impact and curtain air
baþs may inýlate dependinþ on the
intensity, vehicle speed and anþles oý
impact.
