Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 intlates
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.
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.
The air
bag supplements the protection provided by safcty belts. Air bags
distribute the force of the Impact more cvcnly over the occupant's upper
body, stopping the occupani. more gradually. But air bags would not help
you in. many types of collisions. including rotlovers and rear and side
impacts. primarily beca.use an. occupant's 1not.iorr is not toward the air bag-
Air bags c. should never be regarded as anything more than a supplement: to
sa.t.'ety belts. and, then ody ill nloderate 1.0 wwrt lronta! or nt';lr-trot?tal
collisions.
