Airbag Deployment Conditions

Front Airbags

Front airbags are designed to deploy in a frontal collision depending on the severity of the frontal impact.

Side Airbags and Side Curtain Airbags

Side airbags and side curtain airbags are designed to inflate when side impact sensors detect an impact, depending on the severity of the side impact collision.

Although the driver and passenger front airbags are designed to inflate only in frontal collisions, they may also inflate in other types of collisions if the frontal impact sensors detect sufficient impact. Side and side curtain airbags are designed to inflate only in side collisions or rollovers, but they may also inflate in other collisions if the side impact sensors detect sufficient impact.

If the vehicle chassis strikes bumps or objects on unimproved roads, the airbags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or on surfaces not intended for vehicle traffic to prevent unintentional airbag deployment.
