Safety features of your vehicle
by the sensors. For instance, side air
bag and/or curtain air bags may
inflate if rollover sensors indicate
the possibility of a rollover occurring
(even if none actually occurs) or in
other situations, including when the
vehicle is tilted while being towed.
Even if side and/or curtain air bags
do not provide impact protection in
a rollover, they will deploy to pre -
vent ejection of occupants, espe -
cially those who are restrained with
seat belts.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads, the air bags may deploy.
Drive carefully on unimproved roads
or on surfaces not designed for
vehicle traffic to prevent unintended
air bag deployment.
NOTICE
If equipped with rollover sensor
Also, the side and curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when a roll -
over is detected by a rollover sensor.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
Air bags may not deploy in certain
low-speed collisions where the air
bag would not add any benefit
beyond the protection already
offered by the seat belts.

Air bag - Advanced Supplemental Restraint
OKA4030083N
Front air bags are not designed to
inflate in rear collisions, because
occupants are moved backward
by the force of the impact. In this
case, inflated air bags would not
be able to provide any additional
benefit.
OKA4030084N
Front airbags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
passengers move in the direction
of the collision. Thus, in side
impacts, frontal airbag deploy -
ment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
