Just before impact, drivers often  brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it to
“ride”  under  a  vehicle  with  a  higher
ground  clearance.   Air  bags may  not
inflate   in  this   "under-ride"   situation
because  deceleration  forces  that are
detected  by  sensors  may  be  signifi-
cantly altered by such “under-ride” col-
lisions.
•  Air bags may not inflate in rollover acci-
dents   because  air   bag  deployment
would not provide  proper protection to
the occupants.
However,  side   air  bags   may  inflate
when  the  vehicle is  rolled  over  by  a
side  impact collision,  if  the vehicle  is
equipped  with side  air bags  and  cur-
tain air bags.
•  Air bags  may not  inflate if  the vehicle
collides  with   objects  such   as  utility
poles  or   trees,  where   the   point  of
impact is concentrated to one area and
the full force of the impact is  not trans-
mitted to the sensors.
