• Frontal air bags are not designed to

inflate in rear collisions, because occu-
pants are moved backward by the
force of the impact. In this case, the air
bags do not provide proper protection.

• Front air bags may not inflate in side

impact collision, because occupants
move to the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, frontal air bag
deployment does not provide occupant
protection.
However, side or curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the intensity, vehi-
cle speed and angles of impact.

• In a slant or angled collision, the force

of impact may direct the occupants in a
direction between the front and side air
bags, and thus the sensors may not
deploy any air bags.
