Knowing your vehicle
Airbag non-inflation conditions
• In collisions, the vehicle safety
belts are sufficient to protect the
vehicle occupants and the airbags
may not deploy. In some cases,
deploying airbags in low-speed
collisions can cause a secondary
impact to the occupants (light abra-
sions, cuts, burns, etc.), or loss of
vehicle control.
• Airbags may not inflate in rear col-
lisions, because occupants are
moved backward by the force of
the impact. In this case, the
airbags do not provide proper pro-
tection.
• Front airbags may not inflate in
side impact collision, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision, and thus front airbag
deployment does not provide prop-
er protection.
However, side airbags (if
equipped) may inflate depending
on the intensity, vehicle speed and
angles of impact.
