inflate in a frontal collision depend-

of impact of the front collision.

* The actual air bags in the vehicle
may differ from the illustration.
Side and/or curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact
is detected by side collision sensors
depending on the strength, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a
side impact collision.
Also, the side and curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when a roll-
over is detected by a rollover sensor.
Although the front air bags (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 air bags (side and/or
curtain air bags) are designed to
inflate only in side impact collisions,
but they may inflate in other colli-

detect a sufficient impact.
For instance, side airbag and curtain
air bags may inflate if rollover sen-
