The safety belt pretensioners and the airbag supplemental restraint
system are designed to activate when the vehicle sustains frontal or
sideways deceleration sufficient to cause the restraints control module to
deploy a safety device.

The fact that the safety belt pretensioners or airbags did not activate for
both front seat occupants in a crash does not mean that something is
wrong with the system. Rather, it means the restraints control module
determined the accident conditions (such as crash severity, belt usage)
were not appropriate to activate these safety devices.
• The design of the front airbags is to activate only in frontal and

near-frontal crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or rear impacts)
unless the crash causes sufficient frontal deceleration.

• The design of the safety belt pretensioners is to activate in frontal,

near-frontal and side crashes.

• The design of the side airbags is to inflate in certain side impact

crashes. Side airbags may activate in other types of crashes if the
vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion or deformation.
