- The frontal impact force of the vehicle exceeds the specified value.
- Direct frontal collision of a car with a rigid, non-deformable wall at a car speed greater than 22 km/h.
- Hitting a curb, edge of a sidewalk or a hard, solid object.
- A hard landing after a jump or a car crash.
- An oblique impact to the front of the vehicle, directed within a 60-degree sector.
- Falling into a deep hole or colliding with the wall of a hole.
Conditions under which the front air bags may not deploy are listed below.
- Collision with a tree or pole. Despite the severe damage to the body in such accidents, the longitudinal deceleration of the car may not exceed the specified value at which the front airbags should operate.
Oblique impact with the front of the vehicle. In this case, the longitudinal deceleration experienced by the vehicle may not exceed the specified value at which the front airbags should deploy.
- A collision with the rear of a vehicle or with the rear underrun protection of a truck. The longitudinal deceleration experienced by the vehicle in such collisions may not exceed the specified value at which the front airbags should deploy.
The following are conditions under which frontal airbags typically do not deploy.
- Car hit from behind.
- Side impact of the vehicle. However, the side airbag and curtain airbag may be deployed.
- Rollover of the vehicle. In this case, the side airbags and curtain airbags may deploy, but not the front airbags.
Side airbags and curtain airbags deploy if the force of a side impact (right or left) exceeds the specified level. However, the front airbags usually do not deploy in this case.
Conditions under which the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy are listed below.
- Oblique impact with the front of the vehicle. In this case, the lateral deceleration experienced by the vehicle may not exceed the specified value at which the side airbags and curtain airbags should deploy.
- Side impact with a tree or pole. Despite the severe damage to the body in such accidents, the lateral deceleration of the car may not exceed the specified value, at which the side airbags and inflatable curtains should operate.
- Vehicle rollover. In this case, the lateral overloads experienced by the vehicle may not exceed the specified value at which the side airbags and curtain airbags should deploy.
- Side impact with a two-wheeled vehicle. In such impacts, the lateral g-forces experienced by the vehicle may not exceed the specified value at which the side airbags and curtain airbags should deploy.
Side airbags and curtain airbags will not normally deploy in the following situations:.
- Car hit from behind.
- Frontal impact of the car. However, in this case, the front airbags may be deployed.
