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.
Air
bags supplement 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
air
bags would
not help you in many types of collisions, including
rollovers, rear impacts and side impacts, primarily because
an
occupant’s motion is not toward those
air
bags.
Air
bags should never
be
regarded as anyhng more than a
supplement to safety belts,
and
then only
in
moderate to
severe fi-ontal or near-frontal collisions.
What
will
you see after an air bag inflates?
After an air bag inflates, it quickly deflates, so quickly
that some people may not even realize the air bag
inflated. Some components
of
the air bag module in
the steering wheel hub for the driver’s air bag, or the
instrument panel for the right front passenger’s bag, will
be hot for
a short time. The parts of the bag that come
into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to
touch. There will be some smoke and dust corning from
vents in the deflated air bags.
Air
bag inflation doesn’t
prevent the driver from seeing
or
from being able
to
steer the vehicle, nor does
it
stop people from leaving
the vehicle.
When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air.
This dust could cause breathing problems
for
people
with
a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble.
To
avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as it is safe to do
so.
If
you have breathing problems but can’t get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then get
fresh air by opening a window or door.
