Knowing your vehicle
Although the front air bags (driver’s and
front passenger’s air bags and driver’s
knee air bag) are designed to inflate only
in frontal collision, it may inflate in any
collision if front impact sensors detect a
sufficient impact.
Curtain air bags are designed to inflate
only in side impact collision, but may
inflate in any collision if side impact sen-
sors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads
or sidewalks, air bags may deploy. Drive
carefully on unimproved roads or on sur-
faces not designed for vehicle traffic to
prevent unintended air bag deployment.
To protect occupants, front air bags and
pre-tensioner safety belts may deploy in
certain side impact collisions.

Air bag non-inflation conditions
• In collisions, the vehicle safety belts
are sufficient to protect the vehicle
occupants and the air bags may not
deploy. In some cases, deploying air
bags in low-speed collisions can cause
a secondary impact to the occupants
(light abrasions, cuts, burns, etc.), or
loss of vehicle control.

Curtain air bag
Curtain air bags are designed to inflate
when the impact signal is delivered to the
side collision sensors, depending on the
severity, speed, and/or angle of the
impact or rollover.
