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.

• Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-

dents because air bag deployment

would not provide protection to the

occupants.

However, side impact and curtain air

bags may inflate when the vehicle is

rolled over by a side impact collision, if

the vehicle is equipped with side

impact air bags and curtain air bags.

• 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.
