to inflate, but it will not normally deploy
the front air bags.
Limitations to side air bag activation
Depending on the severity of impact, a
side air bag may not inflate in the
following cases:
l Frontal offset impact may not provide
enough side impact to deploy the side
air bags.

can cause severe cosmetic damage but
may not have enough impact force to
activate the side air bags.
