Knowing your vehicle
• In a slant impact or collision, the
force delivered will be relatively
weaker than that of frontal colli-
sion. So, the airbags may not
inflate.
• At the moment of an accident, driv-
ers brake heavily with reflex. In
such heavy braking, the front por-
tion of the vehicle is lowered by the
force of the braking and the vehicle
can go under a vehicle with a high-
er ground clearance. Airbags may
not inflate in this situation because
impacts may not be delivered or
may be delivered with less intensi-
ty.
• Airbags may not inflate in rollover
accidents because airbag deploy-
ment would not provide proper pro-
tection to the occupants.
However, side airbags (if
equipped) may inflate when the
vehicle is rolled over by a side
impact collision, if the vehicle is
equipped with side airbags and
curtain airbags.
