Air bag non-inflation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions, the
air bags may not deploy. The air
bags are not designed to deploy in
such cases where air bags cannot
provide benefits beyond the pro-
tection of the seat belts.
• Frontal air bags are not designed
to inflate in rear collisions, where
occupants are tilted backwards by
the force of the impact. In this case,
inflated air bags cannot provide
any additional benefit.
• Front air bags may not inflate in
side impact collisions, because
occupants move to the direction of
the collision. Thus, in side impacts,
frontal air bag deployment cannot
provide additional occupant pro-
tection.
