０８／１２／２３ １７：１２：２０ Main Menu ３１ＴＫ４６００ ００３２ Table Of Contents Additional Information About Your Airbags Although both airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy. This can happen if the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
０８／１２／２３ １７：１２：３３ Main Menu ３１ＴＫ４６００ ００３３ Table Of Contents Additional Information About Your Airbags Dual-Stage Airbags Dual-Threshold Airbags Advanced Airbags Your front airbags are dual-stage airbags.
