of accidents in which the air bag would
not be expected to provide additional
protection...
Front air bags
Front air bags are designed to inflate
in a frontal collision depending on the
severity of impact of the front collision.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed
to inflate when an impact is detected by
side collision sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a side
impact collision...
Other information:
Always fasten your seat belt and make
sure all passengers have fastened their
seat belts before starting any trip. Air
bags are designed to supplement the
seat belt as an additional safety device,
but they are not a substitute. Most states
require all occupants of a vehicle to wear
seat belts...
