Safety features of your vehicle 1VQA2087 1JBA3516 1JBA3521 • Frontal air bags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, because occupants are moved backward by the force of the impact. In this case, inflated air bags would provide additional occupant protection. • Front air bags are not designed to inflate in side impact collisions, because frontal air bag deployment would not provide additional occupant protection. • In an angular collision, the force of impact may direct the occupants in a direction where the air bags would not provide additional occupant protection, and thus the sensors may not deploy any air bags. 3 49
