Because the front airbags do not protect the occu-
pant in all types of frontal collisions, be sure to al-
ways properly wear your seat belts.
Collision with a utility pole, tree or other narrow objects
Vehicle slides under the rear body of a truck
Oblique frontal impacts
The front airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO DE-
PLOY when...
The front airbags are not designed to deploy in con-
ditions where they cannot typically provide protec-
tion to the occupant. Such conditions are shown in
the illustration.
Because the front airbags do not protect the occu-
pant in all types of collisions, be sure to always prop-
erly wear your seat belts.
Rear end collisions
Side collisions
Vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
The front airbags MAY DEPLOY when...
The front airbags may deploy if the bottom of the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe impact (under-
carriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions are shown in
the illustration.
Seat and seat belts
Because the front airbags may deploy in certain
types of unexpected impacts as shown in the illus-
tration that can easily move you out of position, it
is important to always properly wear your seat
belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe dis-
tance from the steering wheel and instrument panel
during the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful
and can possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.
Collision with an elevated median/island or kerb
Vehicle travels over a deep hole/pothole
Vehicle drives down a steep slope and hits the ground
