Side airbag
Side airbags (side and curtain
airbags) are designed to inflate
depending on the strength, speed
and angles of impact of a side impact
collision or rollover.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved
roads or sidewalks, airbags may
deploy. Drive carefully on unim-
proved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended airbag deployment.
Airbag non-inflation conditions
• In certain low-speed collisions the
airbags may not deploy. The
airbags are designed not to deploy
in such cases because the risk of
injuries which can be caused by
the airbags exceeds the benefits
they provide in protecting occu-
pants.
