Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
"ride" under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such "underride" collisions.
OPA037043
Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-
dents because air bag deployment could
not provide protection to the occupants.
However, side impact and curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact collision, if
the vehicle is equipped with side impact
air bags and curtain air bags
Also, if the vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, side impact and curtain
air bags may inflate in a rollover.
Safety system of your vehicle
OED036104
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle col-
lides with objects such as utility poles or
trees, where the point of impact is con-
centrated and the collision energy is
absorbed by the vehicle structure.
