{ WARNING

If something is between an

occupant and an airbag, the airbag

might not inﬂate properly or it might

force the object into that person

causing severe injury or even

death. The path of an inﬂating

airbag must be kept clear. Do not

put anything between an occupant

and an airbag, and do not attach or

put anything on the steering wheel

hub or on or near any other airbag

covering.

Do not use seat accessories

that block the inﬂation path of a

seat-mounted side impact airbag.

Never secure anything to the roof

of a vehicle with roof-rail airbags

by routing a rope or tie down

through any door or window

opening. If you do, the path of

an inﬂating roof-rail airbag will

be blocked.

When Should an Airbag

Inﬂate?

Frontal airbags are designed to

inﬂate in moderate to severe frontal

or near-frontal crashes to help

reduce the potential for severe

injuries mainly to the driver’s or right

front passenger’s head and chest.

However, they are only designed

to inﬂate if the impact exceeds

a predetermined 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.

Whether the frontal airbags will

or should deploy is not based on

how fast your vehicle is traveling.

It depends largely on what you hit,

the direction of the impact, and how

quickly your vehicle slows down.

Frontal airbags may inﬂate at

different crash speeds. For example:

• If the vehicle hits a stationary

object, the airbags could inﬂate at

a different crash speed than if the

vehicle hits a moving object.

• If the vehicle hits an object that

deforms, the airbags could inﬂate

at a different crash speed than if

the vehicle hits an object that

does not deform.

• If the vehicle hits a narrow object

(like a pole), the airbags could

inﬂate at a different crash speed

than if the vehicle hits a wide

object (like a wall).

• If the vehicle goes into an object

at an angle, the airbags could

inﬂate at a different crash speed

than if the vehicle goes straight

into the object.

Thresholds can also vary with

speciﬁc vehicle design.

Frontal airbags are not intended to

inﬂate during vehicle rollovers, rear

impacts, or in many side impacts.
