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 your 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.

In addition, your vehicle has dual-stage frontal airbags.

Dual-stage airbags adjust the restraint according to

crash severity. Your vehicle has electronic frontal

sensors, which help the sensing system distinguish

between a moderate frontal impact and a more severe

frontal impact. For moderate frontal impacts, dual-stage

airbags inflate at a level less than full deployment. For

more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs.

Frontal airbags are not intended to inflate during vehicle

rollovers, rear impacts, or in many side impacts.

The vehicle may or may not have seat-mounted side

impact airbags. See Airbag System

on page 2‑58

Seat-mounted side impact airbags are intended

to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes.

Seat-mounted side impact airbags will inflate if the

crash severity is above the system's designed threshold

level. The threshold level can vary with specific vehicle

design.
