Safety features of your vehicle

Why didn’t my air bag go off in a
collision? (Inflation and non-infla-
tion conditions of the air bag)

There are many types of accidents in
which the air bag would not be expect-
ed to provide additional protection.
These include rear impacts, second or
third collisions in multiple impact
accidents, as well as low speed
impacts. In other words, just because
your vehicle is damaged and even if it
is totally unusable, don’t be surprised
that the air bags did not inflate.

Air bag collision sensors

(1) SRS control module
(2) Front impact sensor

(3) Side impact sensor
(4) Side pressure sensor
