❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ
from the illustration.
Side air bags (if equipped)
Side air bags (side and/or curtain air
bags) are designed to inflate when
an impact is detected by side colli-
sion sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a
side impact collision.
Although the front air bags (driver's
and front passenger's air bags) are
designed to inflate only in frontal col-
1JBA3514
lisions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
Side air bags (side and/or curtain air
bags) are designed to inflate only in
side impact collisions, but they may
inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
OYDDSA2040
roads or sidewalks, air bags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unim-
proved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.
