{CAUTION:

If something is between an occupant and an

air bag, the bag might not inﬂate properly or it

might force the object into that person causing

severe injury or even death. The path of an

inﬂating air bag must be kept clear. Do not put

anything between an occupant and an air bag,

and do not attach or put anything on the

steering wheel hub or on or near any other air

bag covering. Do not let seat covers block the

inﬂation path of a side impact air bag.

When Should an Air Bag Inﬂate?

The driver’s and passenger’s frontal air bags are

designed to inﬂate in moderate to severe frontal or

near-frontal crashes. But they are designed to inﬂate

only if the impact speed is above the system’s designed

“threshold level.”

In addition, your vehicle has “dual stage” frontal air bags,

which adjust the amount of restraint according to crash

severity. For moderate frontal impacts, these air bags

inﬂate at a level less than full deployment. For more

severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs. If the front

of your vehicle goes straight into a wall that does not

move or deform, the threshold level for the reduced

deployment is about 12 to 16 mph (19 to 26 km/h), and

the threshold level for a full deployment is about 20 to

25 mph (32 to 40 km/h). The threshold level can vary,

however, with speciﬁc vehicle design, so that it can be

somewhat above or below this range.

If your vehicle strikes something that will move or

deform, such as a parked car, the threshold level will be

higher. The driver’s and passenger’s frontal air bags

are not designed to inﬂate in rollovers, rear impacts, or

in many side impacts because inﬂation would not

help the occupant.
