The front air bags MAY DEPLOY when...
The front air bags may deploy if the bottom of the vehicle suf-
fers a moderate to severe impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in the illustra-
tion.
As the front air bags may deploy in certain types of unexpected
impacts that can easily move you out of position, as shown in
the illustration, it is important always to wear your seat belt
correctly. Your seat belt will help to keep you at a safe distance
from the steering wheel and instrument panel during the initial
stages of air bag deployment. The initial stage of air bag infla-
tion is the most forceful and may cause serious or fatal injury if
you contact it at this stage.
Collision with an elevated median/island or kerb
Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
