CHEVROLET AVEO 2002 Service Repair Manual When Should an Air Bag In�ate?
The driver’s and right front passenger’s frontal air bags
are designed to inﬂate in moderate to severe frontal
or near-frontal crashes. But they are designed to in

When Should an Air Bag Inate?
The driver’s and right front passenger’s frontal air bags
are designed to inﬂate in moderate to severe frontal
or near-frontal crashes. But they are designed to inﬂate
only if the impact speed is above the system’s
designed “threshold level.”
If the front of your vehicle goes straight into a wall that
doesn’t move or deform, the threshold level is about
9 to 14 mph (14.5 to 23 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 driver’s and right front passenger’s frontal
air bags are not designed to inﬂate in rollovers, rear
impacts, or in many side impacts because inﬂation
would not help the occupant.
Your vehicle may or may not have a side impact air
bag. See “Air Bag Systems” in the Index. A driver’s side
impact air bag is designed to inﬂate in moderate to
severe side crashes involving the driver’s door. A side
impact air bag will inﬂate if the crash severity is above
the system’s designed “threshold level.” The threshold
level can vary with speciﬁc vehicle design. A driver’s
side impact air bag is not designed to inﬂate in frontal or
near-frontal impacts, rollovers 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.
For frontal air bags, inﬂation is determined by the angle
of the impact and how quickly the vehicle slows down
in frontal and near-frontal impacts. For side impact
air bags, inﬂation is determined by the location
and severity of the impact.
What Makes an Air Bag Inate?
In an impact of sufficient severity, the air bag sensing
system detects that the vehicle is in a crash. For both
the frontal and side impact air bags, the sensing system
triggers a release of gas from the inﬂator, which
inﬂates the air bag. The inﬂator, air bag and related
hardware are all part of the air bag modules. Frontal air
bag modules are located inside the steering wheel
and instrument panel. For vehicles with a driver’s side
impact air bag, the air bag modules are located in
the seatback closest to the driver’s door.
