Safety features of your vehicle
OCDW039047
• Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction
of the collision, and thus in
side impacts, frontal air bag
deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate depending on the
intensity, vehicle speed and angles
of impact.

• 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
3 66
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
sensors may not deploy any air
bags.

• 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
"under-ride" collisions.

• Air bags do not inflate in most
rollover accidents, even though
