What Makes an Airbag Inﬂate?

In an impact of sufficient severity, the airbag

sensing system detects that the vehicle is

in a crash. In the case of a roof-mounted rollover

airbag, the sensing system detects that the

vehicle is about to roll over or has been in a severe

frontal or side impact. The sensing system

triggers a release of gas from the inﬂator, which

inﬂates the airbag. The inﬂator, airbag, and related

hardware are all part of the airbag modules

inside the steering wheel and in the instrument

panel in front of the right front passenger.

For vehicles with roof-mounted rollover airbags,

the airbag modules are located in the ceiling of the

vehicle, near the side windows.

If your vehicle has a third row seat with

roof-mounted rollover airbags, the airbag modules

are located inside the rear-most pillar trim and

above in the ceiling above the ﬁxed rear glass.

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.

The airbag supplements 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.

Roof-mounted rollover airbags would not help you

in many types of collisions, including many

frontal or near frontal collisions, and rear impacts,

primarily because an occupant’s motion is not

toward the airbag. 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 impacts

and rollover events.
