Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban Owner Manual - 2010

The vehicle may or may not have seat‐mounted side

impact airbags. The vehicle has roof-rail airbags. See

Airbag System

on page 2‑84

. Seat‐mounted side

impact airbags and roof-rail airbags are intended to

inflate in moderate to severe side crashes. In addition,

these roof-rail airbags are intended to inflate during a

rollover or in a severe frontal impact. Seat‐mounted side

impact airbags and roof-rail airbags will inflate if the

crash severity is above the system's designed threshold

level. The threshold level can vary with specific vehicle

design.

Roof-rail airbags are not intended to inflate in rear

impacts. A seat‐mounted side impact airbag is intended

to deploy on the side of the veicle that is struck. Both

roof-rail airbags will deploy when either side of the

vehicle is struck or if the sensing system predicts that

the vehicle is about to roll over, or in a severe frontal

impact.

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. For frontal airbags, inflation is determined by what

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

quickly the vehicle slows down. For seat‐mounted side

impact and roof-rail airbags, deployment is determined

by the location and severity of the side impact. In a

rollover event, roof-rail airbag deployment is determined

by the direction of the roll.

What Makes an Airbag Inflate?

In a deployment event, the sensing system sends an

electrical signal triggering a release of gas from the

inflator. Gas from the inflator fills the airbag causing the

bag to break out of the cover and deploy. The inflator,

the airbag, and related hardware are all part of the

airbag module.

Frontal airbag modules are located inside the

steering wheel and instrument panel. For vehicles with

seat‐mounted side impact airbags, there are airbags

modules in the side of the front seatbacks closest to the

door. For vehicles with roof-rail airbags, there are airbag

modules in the ceiling of the vehicle, near the side

windows that have occupant seating positions.

How Does an Airbag 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.

Airbags supplement the protection provided by safety

belts. Frontal airbags distribute the force of the impact

more evenly over the occupant's upper body, stopping

the occupant more gradually. Seat‐mounted side impact

and roof-rail airbags distribute the force of the impact

more evenly over the occupant's upper body.
