Don’t put anything on, or attach anything to, the
steering wheel or instrument panel. Also, don’t
put anything (such as pets or objects) between
any occupant and the steering wheel
or
instrument panel. If something is between an
occupant and an air bag, it could affect the
performance of the air bag
--
or worse, it could
cause injury.
When should an air bag inflate?
The air bag
is
designed to inflate
in
moderate
to
severe
frontal or near-frontal crashes. The air bag will inflate
only if the impact speed is above the system’s designed
“threshold level.”
If
your vehicle goes straight into a
wall that doesn’t move or deform, the threshold level is
about
9
to
15
mph
(14
to
24
km/h).
The threshold level
can vary, however, with specific vehicle design,
so
that
it can be somewhat above or below this range.
If
your
vehicle strikes something that will move or deform, such
as
a
parked car, the threshold level will be higher. The
air bag is not designed to inflate
in
rollovers, side
impacts or rear impacts, because inflation would not
help the occupant.
In any particular crash,
no
one can say whether an air
bag should have inflated simply because of
the
damage
to a vehicle or because of what the repair costs were.
Inflation is determined by the angle
of
the
impact and
the
vehicle’s deceleration. Vehicle damage is only
one
indication
of
this.
What makes an air bag inflate?
In a frontal or near-frontal impact of sufficient severity,
the air bag sensing system detects that the vehicle is
suddenly stopping as a result
of
a crash. The sensing
system triggers a chemical reaction of the sodium azide
sealed in the inflator. The reaction produces nitrogen
gas, which inflates the air bag. The inflator, air bag and
related hardware are all part of
the
air bag modules
packed inside the steering wheel and in the instrument
panel in front of the right front passenger.
