Side impact and curtain air bags
(if equipped)
Side impact and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate when a side impact of
sufficient severity is detected.
Although the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s air bags are designed to inflate only
in frontal collisions, they also may inflate
in other types of collisions if the front
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Side impact air bags and curtain
air bags are designed to inflate only in
side impact collisions or rollover situa-
tions, but they may inflate in other colli-
sions if the side impact sensors detect a
sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unpaved roads, the
air bags may deploy. Drive carefully on
unpaved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.
Air bag non-inflation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the air
bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases
because they may not provide benefits
beyond the protection of the seat belts
in such collisions.
