Why didn’t my air bag go off in a colli‐sion? (Inflation and non-inflation condi‐tions of the air bag)There are many types of accidents inwhich the air bag would not be expec‐ted to provide additional protection.These include rear impacts, second orthird collisions in multiple impact acci‐dents, as well as low speed impacts.
1. SRS control module / Rollover sen‐ sor (if equipped)
2. Front impact sensor
3. Side impact sensor (if equipped)
4. Side impact sensor (if equipped)
WARNING
