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 air bags would not
provide protection in many types of collisions, including
rollovers and rear and side impacts, primarily because
an occupant’s motion is not toward the air bag. Air bags

supplement
to
safety belt protection in moderate to
severe frontal and near-frontal collisions.
What
will
you
see
after an air bag inflation?
After the air bag has inflated, it will then quickly
deflate. This occurs
so
quickly that some,people may
not even realize that the air bag inflated. Some
components of the air bag module in the steering wheel
hub may be hot for a short time, but the portion of the
bag that comes into contact with you will not be hot to
the touch. There will be small amounts of smoke and
dust coming from vents in the deflated air bag. The air
bag will
not
impede the driver’s vision or ability to steer
