Safety features of your vehicle
• Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this "under-ride" situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be signifi-
cantly replaced by such “under-ride”
collisions.
✽✽
NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
Front air bags do not inflate in rollover
accidents. However, side impact and
curtain air bags may inflate in a
rollover, when it is detected by the
rollover sensor.
✽✽
NOTICE - without rollover
sensor
Air bags do not inflate in rollover acci-
dents because vehicle can not detect
rollover accident. However, side impact
and/or curtain air bags may inflate
when the vehicle is rolled over after side
impact collision.
• Air bags may not inflate if the vehicle
collides with objects such as utility
poles or trees, where the point of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is not deliv-
ered to the sensors.
