Airbag Deployment and Non-Deployment

Airbag Deployment
Front Air Bags

Side Impact and Curtain Air Bags
Side impact and curtain air bags are designed to inflate when
an impact is detected by side collision sensors depending on
the strength, speed or angles of impact resulting from a side
impact collision. Although the front air bags (driver's and
front passenger's air bags) are designed to inflate only in
82
frontal collisions, they also may inflate in other types of
collisions if the front impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Similarly, side impact and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate not only in side impact collisions, but may
inflate in other collisions if the side impact sensors detect a
sufficient impact.
Airbag Non-deployment
Impacts below a pre-determined moderate threshold may not
cause the airbags to deploy in the following cases:
• Collision with utility poles or trees -
Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle collides with
