3-18 Seats and Restraints
When Should an Airbag
Inflate?
This vehicle is equipped with
airbags. SeeAirbag System on
page 3-15. Airbags are designed to
inflate when the ignition is in the ON
position and the impact exceeds the
specific airbag system's deployment
threshold. Deployment thresholds
are used to predict how severe a
crash is likely to be in time for the
airbags to inflate and help restrain
the occupants. The vehicle has
electronic sensors that help the
airbag system determine the
severity of the impact. Deployment
thresholds can vary with specific
vehicle design.
Frontal airbags are designed to
inflate in higher severity frontal
collisions, although they may inflate
if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of a
higher severity frontal impact, to
help reduce the potential for severe
injuries, mainly to the driver's or front outboard passenger's head
and chest. Frontal airbags do not
provide restraint to the lower body.
Depending upon sensor input and
crash severity, it is possible that
only one frontal airbag may inflate
during a crash.
In addition, the vehicle has
advanced technology frontal
airbags. Advanced technology
frontal airbags adjust the restraint
according to crash severity and
safety belt usage.
In any particular crash, no one can
say whether an airbag should have
inflated simply because of the
vehicle damage or repair costs.
{Warning
.The front airbags ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of
a side impact, rear impact,
rollover, or lower severity
frontal collision. Always wear
your safety belt to help

Warning (Continued)
reduce the risk or severity of
injury in various kinds of
accidents.
.The front passenger airbag
will not inflate if the
passenger airbag status
indicator is lit or if the front
passenger seat is
unoccupied. For more
information, seePassenger
Airbag Status Indicator on
page 5-10.
.The safety belts and the front
airbags are most effective
when you are sitting well
back and upright in the seat
with both feet on the floor.
The front airbags inflate with
great force. Even with the
advanced airbag system,
if you are unrestrained,

sideways, or out of position in
