Safety System
Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
3-54
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate when an impact is detected by
side collision sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a side
impact collision.
Although the driver's and front
passenger's air bags are designed to
inflate only in frontal collisions, they also
may inflate in other types of collisions
if the front impact sensors detect a
sufficient impact. Side and curtain air
bags are designed to inflate only in side
ODN8039048L
impact collisions or rollover situations,
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 roads,
the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
ODN8H030049N
In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts.
