How does the air bag supplemental restraint

system work?

The air bag SRS is

designed to activate

when the vehicle

sustains a longitudinal

deceleration sufficient

to cause the air bag

sensors to close an

electrical circuit that

initiates air bag

inflation. The fact that the air bags did not inflate in

a collision does not mean that something is wrong

with the system. Rather, it means the forces were

not sufficient enough to cause activation. Air bags

are designed to inflate in frontal and near-frontal

collisions, not rollover, side-impact, or rear-impacts

unless the collision causes sufficient longitudinal

deceleration.

The air bags inflate and

deflate rapidly upon

activation. After air bag

deployment, it is

normal to notice a

smoke-like, powdery

residue or smell the

burnt propellant. This

may consist of

cornstarch, talcum

powder or sodium

compounds which may

irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is

toxic.

While the SRS is designed to help reduce serious

injuries, contact with a deploying air bag may also

cause abrasions, swelling or temporary hearing loss.

Because air bags must inflate rapidly and with

considerable force, there is the risk of death or

serious injuries such as fractures, facial and eye

injuries or internal injuries, particularly to occupants

who are not properly restrained or are otherwise out
