Safety system of your vehicle
In an angled collision, the force of
impact may direct the occupants in a
direction where the air bags would
not be able to provide any additional
benefit, and thus the sensors may
not deploy any air bags.Just before impact, drivers often
brake heavily. Such heavy braking
lowers the front portion of the vehicle
causing it to "ride" under a vehicle
with a higher ground clearance. Air
bags may not inflate in this "under-
ride" situation because deceleration
forces that are detected by sensors
may be significantly reduced by such
"underride" collisions.Front air bags may not inflate in
rollover accidents because air bag
deployment could not provide protec-
tion to the occupants.
However, side and curtain air bags
may inflate when the vehicle is rolled
over by a side impact collision.

Driving your vehicle

[A] : Your vehicle, [B] : Lane changing vehicle,
[C] : Same lane vehicle
When a vehicle in front of you
merges out of the lane,
Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist may not immediately
detect the vehicle that is now
in front of you.
In this case, you must main-
tain a safe braking distance,
and if necessary, steer your
vehicle and depress the brake
pedal to reduce your driving
speed in order to maintain a
safe distance.
•Detecting vehicle
If the vehicle in front of you
has cargo that extends rear-
ward from the cab, or when
the vehicle in front of you has
higher ground clearance,
additional special attention is
required. Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist may not be
able to detect the cargo
extending from the vehicle.
In these instances, you must
maintain a safe braking dis-
tance from the rearmost
object, and if necessary, steer
your vehicle and depress the
brake pedal to reduce your
driving speed in order to
maintain distance.
