• In a slant impact or collision,
impact delivered will be relatively
weaker than that of frontal colli-
sion. So, airbags may not inflate.
1GHA2274L
• At the moment of accident, drivers
brake heavily with reflex. In such
heavy braking, the front portion of
the vehicle is lowered by the force
of the braking and the vehicle can
get under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Airbags may not
inflate in this situation because
impacts may not be delivered or
may be delivered with less intensi-
ty.
Knowing your vehicle
• Airbags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because airbag deploy-
ment cannot provide proper pro-
tection to the occupants.
However, side airbags may inflate
when the vehicle is rolled over by
the side impact collision, if the
vehicle is equipped with side
airbag and / or curtain airbag.
