something is between an occupant and an air

bag, the bag might not inflate properly or it

might force the object into that person. The path

of an inflating

air

bag must be kept clear. Don’t

put anything between an occupant and an air

bag, and don’t attach or put anything on the

steering wheel hub or on or near any other

air

bag covering. And don’t hang anything from the

assist handle on the passenger’s side of the

instrument panel.

When should an air bag inflate?

An air bag is designed to inflate

a moderate to severe

frontal or near-frontal crash. The air bag will inflate

only

the impact speed

above the system’s designed

“threshold level.” If your vehicle goes straight into a

wall that doesn’t move or deform, the threshold level is

about

mph

km/h).

The threshold level

can

vary, however, with specific vehicle design,

that

can

be somewhat above or below this range.

your

vehicle strikes something that will move

deform,

such

as a parked car,

the

threshold level will be higher. The

air bag is not designed to inflate in rollovers, side

impacts or rear impacts, because inflation would

not

help the occupant.

In any particular crash, no one can say whether

air

bag should have inflated simply because

the

damage

to a vehicle or because

what the repair costs were.

Inflation

determined by the angle of the impact and

how quickly

the

vehicle slows down in frontal or

near-frontal impacts.

What makes an air bag inflate?

In an impact of sufficient severity, the air bag sensing

system detects that the vehicle

in a crash. 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 and in the instrument panel

front

the

right front passenger.
