Airbag Deployment Conditions

Front Airbags

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

❈ Actual airbags in the vehicle may differ from the illustrations.

Side airbags and curtain airbags (if equipped)

The side airbags and/or curtain airbags deploy when the side impact sensors detect an impact, depending on the force, speed, or angle of the side impact.

Although the front airbags (driver and front passenger) are designed to deploy only in frontal collisions, they may also deploy in other types of collisions if the front impact sensors detect a severe impact. The side airbags (side and/or curtain airbags) are designed to deploy only in side collisions, but they may deploy in other collisions if the side impact sensors detect a sufficiently severe impact.

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.
