Knowing your vehicle
Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision?
(Inflation and non-inflation conditions
of the air bag)
There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expected
to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or
third collisions in multiple impact acci-
dents, as well as low speed impacts. In
other words, just because your vehicle is
damaged and even if it is totally unus-
able, don’t be surprised that the air bags
did not inflate.
