3-36 Seats and Restraints

If the vehicle does not have a right

front passenger seat and a rear

seat, only the driver frontal airbag

will deploy in a 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 airbag 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.
