Airbag inflation conditions
Airbag inflation conditions |
|
---|---|
|
Front airbags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on the intensity, speed or angles of impact of the front collision. |
|
Side and/or curtain airbags are designed to inflate when an impact is detected by side collision sensors depending on the strength, speed or angles of impact resulting from a side impact collision. |

Side and curtain airbags (if equipped)
Side and curtain airbags are designed to inflate when an impact is detected by side impact sensors depending on the severity of impact resulting from side collision.
Although the front airbags (driver's and front passenger's airbags) 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 airbags (side and/or curtain airbags) are designed to inflate only in side impact collisions, but they may inflate in other collisions if the side impact sensors detect a sufficient impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by bumps or objects on unimproved roads or sidewalks, airbags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or on surfaces not designed for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended airbag deployment.
