Airbag Deployment Conditions

Front Airbags

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

Side Airbags

Side airbags (side airbags and/or curtain airbags) are designed to deploy when the impact is determined by the side impact sensors, depending on the severity of the impact resulting from a side collision.

Additionally, side airbags and/or curtain airbags deploy when a rollover is determined by the rollover sensor.

Although the front airbags (driver and front passenger) are designed to inflate in frontal collisions, they may also inflate in other types of collisions if the frontal impact sensors detect sufficient frontal force in another type of impact. Side airbags and curtain airbags are designed to deploy in certain side impacts. They may inflate in other types of collisions when lateral force is detected by the sensors. The side airbag and/or curtain airbag may also deploy when the rollover sensors indicate a possible rollover (even if no rollover actually occurs), or in other situations, including when the vehicle tilts during towing.

Even if the side airbags and/or curtain airbags do not provide protection in rollover impacts, they will still deploy to prevent occupants from being ejected, especially those wearing seat belts.

If the vehicle chassis strikes bumps or objects on unimproved roads or curbs, the airbags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or surfaces. Airbags are not designed to deploy in such situations.
