Safety features of your vehicle
Just before impact, drivers oftenbrake 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. Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provideadditional occupant protection.
✽✽ NOTICE - with rollover sensor
However, the side and curtain air
bags may inflate in a rollover, when
it is detected by ACU (Airbag
Control Unit).
✽
✽ NOTICE - without rollover sensor
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.
Air bags may not inflate if the vehi- cle collides with objects such as util-
ity 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 sensors.
