In certain types of front collisions, the front
airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not
deploy, even if the deformation of the body
seems to be large, because the vehicle’s body
structure is designed to absorb the impact and
deform in order to help protect the occupants.
Some typical situations where the front air-
bags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy
are shown in the illustrations.
Since the front airbags and driver’s knee air-
bag do not protect the occupant in all types of
frontal collisions, be sure to always wear your
seat belts properly.
