Frontal airbags for the driver and right front
passenger are designed to deploy only in
moderate to severe frontal and near frontal
crashes. They are not designed to inflate in
rollover, rear or low-speed frontal crashes,
or in many side crashes. And, for some
unrestrained occupants, frontal airbags may
provide less protection in frontal crashes than
more forceful airbags have provided in the past.
The seat-mounted side impact airbags and
roof-mounted side impact airbags are designed
to inflate only in moderate to severe crashes
where something hits the side of your vehicle.
They are not designed to inflate in frontal,
in rollover or in rear crashes. Everyone in
your vehicle should wear a safety belt
properly — whether or not there is an airbag
for that person.
