What makes an air bag inflate?

In an impact of sufficient severity, the air bag sensing

system detects that the vehicle is in a crash. For both

frontal and side impact air bags, the sensing system

triggers a release of gas from the inflator, which inflates

the air bag. The inflator, air bag and related hardware

are all part of the air bag modules inside the steering

wheel, instrument panel and the side of the front

seatbacks closest to the door.

How does an air bag restrain?

In moderate to severe frontal or near frontal collisions,

even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or

the instrument panel. In moderate to severe side

collisions, even belted occupants can contact the inside

of the vehicle. The air bag supplements the protection

provided by safety belts. Air bags distribute the force of

the impact more evenly over the occupant’s upper body,

stopping the occupant more gradually. But the frontal air

bags would not help you in many types of collisions,

including rollovers, rear impacts, and many side

impacts, primarily because an occupant’s motion is not

toward the air bag. Side impact air bags would not help

you in many types of collisions, including frontal or

near frontal collisions, rollovers, and rear impacts,

primarily because an occupant’s motion is not toward

those air bags. Air bags should never be regarded as

anything more than a supplement to safety belts, and

then only in moderate to severe frontal or near

-frontal

collisions for the driver’s and right front passenger’s

frontal air bags, and only in moderate to severe side

collisions for the driver’s and right front passenger’s

side impact air bags.
