What Makes an Airbag Inﬂate?

In an impact of sufficient severity, the airbag

sensing system detects that the vehicle is

in a crash. The sensing system triggers a release

of gas from the inﬂator, which inﬂates the

airbag. The inﬂator, the airbag and related

hardware are all part of the airbag modules.

Frontal airbag modules are located inside

the steering wheel and instrument panel.

For seating positions with side impact airbags,

there are also airbag modules in the side of

the seatbacks closest to the door.

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. Airbags distribute the force of the

impact more evenly over the occupant’s upper

body, stopping the occupant more gradually.

But the frontal airbags 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 airbag.

Side impact airbags would not help you in many

types of collisions, including many frontal or

near frontal collisions, rollovers, and rear impacts.

Airbags 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 airbags, and only in moderate

to severe side collisions for vehicles with side

impact airbags.
