In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.
ODH033076
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.
ODH033077
Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion 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 air
bags and curtain air bags.
Also, if the vehicle is equipped with a
rollover sensor, side impact and cur-
tain air bags may inflate in a rollover.
