Safety features of your vehicle
• 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
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
"under-ride" situation because
deceleration forces that are detect-
ed by sensors may be significantly
replaced by such "under-ride" colli-
sions.

• For Australia - Front air bags may
not inflate in rollover accidents
because front airbag deployment
would not provide additional occu-
pant protection.
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate in a rollover, when
it is detected by the rollover sensor.
• Except Australia - Air bags may not
inflate in
because the vehicle can not detect
rollover accident.
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle
is rolled over following (or after)
side impact collision.
