In
an anþled collision, the ýorce oý im‐
pact may direct the occupants in a di‐
rection where the air baþs would not
be able to provide any additional ben‐
eýit, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air baþs.
Just beýore impact, drivers oýten
brake heavily. Such heavy brakinþ
lowers the ýront portion the vehi‐
cle causinþ it to 󳱷ride󳱸 under a vehicle
with a hiþher þround clearance. Air
baþs may not inýlate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
ýorces that are detected by sensors
may be siþniýicantly reduced by such
󳱷under-ride󳱸 collisions.
Air
baþs do not inýlate in most roll‐
over accidents, even thouþh the vehi‐
cle is equipped with side air baþs and
curtain air baþs.
NOTICE

sor
However, equipped with side and
