Limitations to front air bag activation

Depending on the severity of impact, the front air bags may not inflate in the following 
cases:

Impacts involving trees or poles cause severe 
cosmetic damage but may not have enough 
impact to activate the air bag.

Rear-ending or running under a truck's tail 
gate may not provide the stopping force 
necessary for air bag deployment.

Frontal offset impact to the vehicle may not 
provide the stopping force necessary for air 
bag deployment.
