Safety features of your vehicle
• 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.
• Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because front air
bag deployment would not provide
additional occupant protection.
✽✽
NOTICE - if equipped with
rollover sensor
However, if equipped with side
impact and curtain air bags, the air
bags may inflate in a rollover, when
it is detected by the rollover sensor.
✽✽
NOTICE - without rollover
sensor
However, side and/or curtain air
bags may inflate when the vehicle is
rolled over by a side impact colli-
sion, if the vehicle is equipped with
side impact air bags and curtain air
bags.
