❈ The actual air bags in the vehicle may dif-
fer from the illustration.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when an impact is
detected by side collision sensors
depending on the strength, speed or
angles of impact resulting from a
side impact collision.
Also, the side and curtain air bags
are designed to inflate when a
rollover is detected by the rollover
sensor.
Although the front air bags (driver’s
front, knee and front passenger’s air
bags) are designed to inflate in frontal
collisions, they also may inflate in
other types of collisions if the front
impact sensors detect a sufficient
frontal force in another type of impact.
Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate in certain side
impact collisions. They may inflate in
other type of collisions where a side
force is detected by the sensors.
Side air bags and/or curtain air bags
may also inflate where rollover sen-
sors indicate the possibility of a
rollover occurring (even if none actual-
ly occurs) or in other situations, inclu-
iding when the vehicle is tilted while
being towed. Even where side and/or
curtain air bags would not provide
impact protection in a rollover, howev-
er, they will deploy to prevent ejection
of occupants, especially 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 traf-
fic to prevent unintended air bag
deployment.
