Safety features of your vehicle
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the severity 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 frontal colli-
sions, they also may inflate in other
types of collisions if the front impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact. Side
air bags (side and/or curtain air bags)
are designed to inflate only in side
impact collisions, but they may inflate
in other collisions if the side impact
sensors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads or sidewalks, air bags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unim-
proved roads or on surfaces not
