In any particular crash, no one can say whether

an airbag should have inﬂated simply because

of the damage to a vehicle or because of what the

repair costs were. Inﬂation is determined by

what the vehicle hits, the angle of the impact, and

how quickly the vehicle slows down.

The airbag system is designed to work properly

under a wide range of conditions, including off-road

usage. Observe safe driving speeds, especially

on rough terrain. As always, wear your safety belt.

See Off-Road Driving on page 372 for more tips

on off-road driving.

Single Stage vs. Dual Stage Airbags

Depending on the weight of your vehicle, you will

have either “Single Stage Airbags” or “Dual

Stage Airbags.” Vehicles that have a passenger

sensing system also have dual stage airbags.

If the rearview mirror in your vehicle has a

passenger airbag status indicator, your vehicle

has the passenger sensing system and therefore,

it has dual stage airbags. If the rearview mirror

in your vehicle does not have a passenger airbag

status indicator, then your vehicle does not

have the passenger sensing system and it has

single stage airbags. See Passenger Airbag Status

Indicator on page 250 or Passenger Sensing

System on page 103.

Single Stage Airbags

If your vehicle has frontal airbags with single stage

deployment and your vehicle goes straight into

a wall that does not move or deform, the threshold

level is about 13 to 16 mph (20 to 25 km/h). The

threshold level can vary, however, with speciﬁc

vehicle design, so that it can be somewhat above

or below this range.
