Knowing your vehicle
Why didn’t my airbag go off in
a collision?
(Inflation and non-inflation condi-
tions of the airbag)
There are many types of accidents
in which one or more of the
airbags would not be expected to
provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, sec-
ond or third collisions in multiple
impact accidents, as well as low
speed impacts. Just because your
vehicle is damaged and even if it
is totally unusable, don’t be sur-
prised that the airbags did not
inflate.
