Deployment of front airbags

The front airbags inflate under the conditions listed below.

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 frontal airbags may not deploy.

Depending on the force and direction of the impact the vehicle experiences, the front airbags may not deploy, for example in the following cases.

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.

Conditions under which frontal airbags do not deploy

Front airbags generally do not deploy in the following situations.

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.

Deployment of side airbags and curtain airbags

If the force of the side impact (right or left) exceeds a predetermined level, the side airbag and the inflatable curtain located on the side of the side impact are triggered. However, the front airbags, as a rule, do not trigger in this case.

Depending on the severity of the side impact the vehicle experiences, the side airbags and curtain airbags may not deploy in situations such as the following.

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.
