Limitations to front air bag activation
Depending on the severity of impact, the
front air bags may not inflate in the
following cases:
Impacts involving trees or poles cause
severe cosmetic damage but may not
have enough stopping force to activate
the air bag.
Frontal offset impact to the vehicle
may not provide the stopping force
necessary for air bag deployment.
