1993 CADILLAC DEVILLE gas type

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What makes an air bag inflate?
In a frontal impact of sufficient severity, sensors strategically located on
the vehicle detect that the vehicle
is suddenly stopping as a result of a
reaction of the sodium azide sealed in the inflator. The reaction produces
nitrogen gas, which inflates the cloth bag. The inflator, cloth bag, and
related hardware are all part of the air bag inflator module packed inside
the steering wheel.

How does an air bag restrain?
occupants can contact the steering wheel. The air bag supplements the
protection provided by safety belts. Air bags distribute the force of 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 should never
be regarded as anything more than a 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.
The air bag will not impede the driver’s vision or ability to steer the
vehicle, nor will it hinder the occupants from exiting the vehicle. There
__ will be small amounts of smoke coming from vents in the deflated air bag.
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. The nitrogen gas used to inflate the
air bag
will have vented into the passenger compartment, and the bag will
be deflated within seconds after the collision. Nitrogen makes up about
80% of the air we breathe and is not hazardous. As the nitrogen vents
