• Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because oc-
cupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus in side im-
pacts, frontal air bag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.
However, side impact or curtain air
bags may inflate depending on the
intensity, vehicle speed and angles
of impact.
• In a slant or angled collision, the
force of impact may direct the oc-
cupants 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.

• Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehi-
cle causing it to "ride" under a vehi-
cle with a higher ground clearance.
Air bags may not inflate in this "un-
der-ride" situation because decel-
eration forces that are detected by
sensor may be significantly re-
duced by such "under-ride" colli-
sions.
OBH038060
• Air bags do not inflate in rollover
accidents because vehicle can not
detect rollover accident.
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle
is rolled over after side impact col-
lision.
