Side and curtain airbags 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 airbags are designed to
inflate in frontal collisions and side and
curtain airbags are designed to inflate in
side impact collisions, airbags may inflate
in other types of collisions if the sensors
detect a sufficient impact.
Also, the side and curtain airbags inflate
when a rollover is detected by a rollover
sensor.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the airbags may deploy. Drive carefully on
unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended airbag deployment.
