56 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE trigger on the crash side of the vehicle in moderate-tosevere side collisions or on both sides of the vehicle in rollover collisions. In certain types of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be triggered. However, even in collisions where the airbags deploy, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you properly. NOTE: The passenger front airbag may not deploy even when the driver front airbag has; particularly if the Occupant Classification System has determined the passenger seat is empty or is occupied by someone that is classified in a category other than that of an adult (refer to information on Occupant Classification System in this section). This could be a child, teenager, or even a small size adult. Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag: 1. Children 12 years old and younger should always ride buckled up in the rear seat. Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in that position. Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arms.
