The fact that the pretensioners or airbags did not activate for both front

seat occupants in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with

the system. Rather, it means the Personal Safety System娂 determined

the accident conditions (crash severity, belt usage, etc.) were not

appropriate to activate these safety devices. Front airbags are designed

to activate in frontal and near-frontal collisions (not rollovers, side

impacts or rear impacts) unless the collision causes sufficient

longitudinal deceleration. The pretensioners are designed to activate in

frontal and near-frontal collisions, and in side collisions when the vehicle

is equipped with side airbags.

Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints

The dual-stage airbags offer the capability to tailor the level of airbag

inflation energy. A lower, less forceful energy level is provided for more

common, moderate-severity impacts. A higher energy level is used for

the most severe impacts. Refer to Airbag Supplemental Restraints

section in this chapter.

Front crash severity sensor

The front crash severity sensor enhances the ability to detect the

severity of an impact. Positioned up front, it provides valuable

information early in the crash event on the severity of the impact. This

allows your Personal Safety System娂 to distinguish between different

levels of crash severity and modify the deployment strategy of the

dual-stage airbags and safety belt pretensioners.

Driver’s seat position sensor

The driver’s seat position sensor allows your Personal Safety System娂 to

tailor the deployment level of the driver dual-stage airbag based on seat

position. The system is designed to help protect smaller drivers sitting

close to the driver airbag by providing a lower airbag output level.

Front passenger sensing system

For airbags to do their job they must inflate with great force, and this

force can pose a potentially deadly risk to occupants that are very close

to the airbag when it begins to inflate. For some occupants, like infants

in rear-facing child seats, this occurs because they are initially sitting

very close to the airbag. For other occupants, this occurs when the

occupant is not properly restrained by seat belts or child safety seats and

they move forward during pre-crash braking. The most effective way to

reduce the risk of unnecessary injuries is to make sure all occupants are

properly restrained. Accident statistics suggest that children are much

safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the

front.
