The Front Airbags May Not Deploy When; Collision With A Utility Pole, Tree Or Other Narrow Object; Collision Where The Vehicle Slides Under The Rear Body Of A Truck; Oblique Frontal Impact - Mitsubishi OUTLANDER Manual

The front airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when ...

In certain types of front collisions, the front airbags may not
deploy, even if the deformation of the body seems to be large,
because the vehicle's body structure is designed to absorb the
impact and deform in order to help protect the occupants. Some
typical situations where the front airbags may not deploy are
shown in the illustrations.
Because the front airbags do not protect the occupant in all
types of frontal collisions, be sure to always wear your seat
belts properly.
