The side airbags and curtain
airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY
when...
With certain types of side collisions, the vehi-
cle's body structure is designed to absorb the
shock to help protect the occupants from
harm. (The vehicle body's side area may de-
form significantly as it absorbs the impact.)
Under such circumstances, the side airbags
and curtain airbags may not deploy irrespec-
tive of the deformation and damage to the ve-
hicle body. Also, depending on the location
of the impact, the side airbags and curtain air-
bags may not deploy simultaneously.
Examples of some typical conditions are
shown in the illustration.
1- Side impacts in an area away from the
passenger compartment
2- Motorcycle or other similar small vehi-
cle collides with the side of vehicle
3- Collision with a utility pole, tree or other
narrow object
4- Oblique side impacts
5- Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags
do not protect the occupant in all types of
side collisions, be sure to always properly
wear your seat belts.

The side airbags and curtain airbags are not
designed to deploy in conditions where they
cannot usually provide protection to the oc-
cupant. Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1- Head-on collisions
2- Rear end collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain airbags
do not protect the occupant in all types of
collisions, be sure to always properly wear
your seat belts.
