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 reduced by such “under-ride”
collisions.
• Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment would not provide addi-
tional protection to the occupants.
Side impact air bags and curtain air
bags may inflate in rollover accidents.
• 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 deceleration forces are significant-
ly reduced.
