Safety features of your vehicle

543

• Just before impact, drivers often

brake heavily. Such heavy braking

lowers the front portion of the vehi-

cle causing it to “ride” under a vehi-

cle with a higher ground clearance.

Air bags may not inflate in this

"under-ride" situation because

deceleration forces that are detect-

ed by sensors may be significantly

reduced by such “under-ride” colli-

sions.

• Airbags does not inflate in most

rollover accidents, even though the

vehicle is equipped with side

impact air bags and curtain air

bags.

• Air bags may not inflate if the vehi-

cle 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 delivered to the sen-

sors.
