Why did not my air bag go off
in a collision? (Inflation and
non-inflation conditions of the
air bag)
There are many types of acci-
dents in which the air bag
would not inflate to provide
additional protection.
These include rear impacts,
second or third collisions in
multiple impact accidents, as
well as low speed impacts.
(Continued)
• A child restraint system must
never be installed in a front
seat. The infant or child may
be severely injured or killed
by a deploying air bag in an
accident.
• Children at the age of 12 and
under must always be proper-
ly restrained in a rear seat.
Never allow children to ride in
a front passenger's seat.
When a child at the age of 13
and over sits in a front seat,
he or she must be properly
fastened and the seat should
be located in the rearmost
position.

The age requirements
about the child detrainment
differ in each country.
• For the maximum protection
in all types of crashes, all
occupants including the driv-
er should always wear their
seat belts, regardless of the
air bag installment in their
seats.
(Continued)
(Continued)This is to minimize
the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
Do not sit or lean unnecessar-
ily close to the air bag, when
the vehicle is in motion.
• Sitting improperly or out of
position may result in serious
or fatal injury in a crash. All
occupants should sit in an
upright position with the seat-
back in an upright position,
centered on the seat cushion
with their seat belt on, legs
comfortably extended and
their feet rested on the floor
until the vehicle is parked and
the ignition switch is turned
OFF.
• The SRS air bag rapidly
inflates to provide Protection
to occupants in a crash. When
an occupant is out of position
without fastening a seat belt,
the air bag may forcefully
strike the occupant, causing
serious or fatal injury.
