• Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
"ride" under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi-
cantly reduced by such "under-ride"
collisions.

• Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
✽ ✽ NOTICE -
if equipped with
rollover sensor
However, if equipped with side impact
and curtain air bags, the air bags may
inflate in a rollover, when it is detected
by the rollover sensor.
