deploys the left Side Air Bags only and a right side

impact deploys the right Side Air Bags only.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all side collisions,

including some collisions at certain angles, or some side

collisions that do not impact the area of the passenger

compartment. The Side Air Bags may deploy during

angled or offset frontal collisions where the Advanced

Front Air Bags deploy.
Rollover Events

Side Air Bags are designed to activate in certain rollover

events. The ORC determines whether the deployment of

the Side Air Bags in a particular rollover event is appro-

priate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle

damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not

Side Air Bags should have deployed.

The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all rollover events.

The rollover sensing-system determines if a rollover

event may be in progress and whether deployment is

appropriate. A slower-developing event may deploy the

seat belt pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle. A

faster-developing event may deploy the seat belt preten-

sioners as well as the SABs and SABICs on both sides of

the vehicle. The rollover sensing-system may also deploy

the seat belt pretensioners, with or without the SABs and

SABICs, on both sides of the vehicle if the vehicle

experiences a near rollover event.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to deflate

immediately after deployment.
NOTE:

Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all

collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with

the air bag system.
