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. In moderate to severe side

collisions, even belted occupants can contact the inside

of the vehicle. The air bag supplements 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 the frontal 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

the air bag. The side impact air bag would not help you

in many types of collisions, including frontal or near

frontal collisions, rollovers, and rear impacts, primarily

because the occupant’s motion is not toward that air bag.

Air bags 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 air bags,

and only in moderate to severe side collisions for the

driver’s side impact air bag.

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

-- the steering

wheel hub for the driver’s air bag, the instrument panel for

the right front passenger’s bag, the side of the seatback

closest to the door for the driver’s side impact air 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 coming from

the vents in the deflated air bags. Air bag inflation doesn’t

prevent the driver from seeing or being able to steer the

vehicle, nor does it stop people from leaving the vehicle.

CAUTION:

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 a door.
