The fact that the safety belt pretensioners or
front airbags did not activate for both front
seat occupants in a crash does not mean
that something is wrong with the system.
Rather, it means the restraints control module
determined the accident conditions (crash
severity, belt usage) were not appropriate to
activate these safety devices.
The design of the front airbags is to
activate only in frontal and near-frontal
crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or
rear impacts) unless the crash causes
sufficient frontal deceleration.
The safety belt pretensioners and
optional rear inflatable safety belts are
designed to activate in frontal,
near-frontal and side crashes.
The knee airbag(s) may deploy based on
crash severity and occupant conditions.
The design of the side airbags and side
curtain airbags is to inflate in certain side
impact crashes. Side airbags and side
curtain airbags may activate in other
types of crashes if the vehicle
experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation.
AIRBAG DISPOSAL
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
