Safety features of your vehicle
• 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 signifi-
cantly reduced by such "under-ride"
collisions.

• Air bags does not inflate in most
rollover accidents (even if the vehicle is
equipped with side impact air bags and
curtain air bags). 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.
However, side impact and curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not deliv-
ered to the sensors.
