SRS Air Bags
Side and curtain air bag activation
Greater than moderate impact to one side of the vehicle (driver or passenger side areas) will
cause the side and curtain air bags to inflate, but it will not normally deploy the front air
bags.
Limitations to side and curtain air bag activation
Depending on the severity of impact, the side and curtain air bags may not inflate in the
following cases:
Frontal offset impact may not provide
enough side impact to deploy the side and
curtain air bags.
Side impacts involving trees or poles can
cause severe cosmetic damage but may not
have enough impact force to activate the
side and curtain air bags.
