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 the airbag 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. In other words,
just because your vehicle is dam-
aged and even if it is totally unus-
able, don’t be surprised that the
airbags did not inflate.
