Why didn't my air bag go off in
a collision?
(Inflation and non-inflation condi-
tions of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be
expected to provide additional pro-
tection.
These include rear impacts, second
or third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts. In other words, just because
your vehicle is damaged and even if
it is totally unusable, don't be sur-
prised that the air bags did not
inflate.
