How does the side airbag system work?

The design and development of the

side airbag system included

recommended testing procedures

that were developed by a group of

automotive safety experts known as

the Side Airbag Technical Working

Group. These recommended testing

procedures help reduce the risk of

injuries related to the deployment of

side airbags.

The side airbag system consists of

the following:

• An inflatable bag (airbag) with a

gas generator concealed behind

the outboard bolster of the driver

and front passenger seatbacks.

• A special seat cover designed to

allow airbag deployment.

• The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used

for the front airbags.

• Two crash sensors located near the side of the vehicle.

Side airbags, in combination with safety belts, can help reduce the risk of

severe injuries in the event of a significant side impact collision.

The side airbags are fitted on the outboard side of the seatbacks of the

front seats. In certain lateral collisions, the airbag on the side affected by

the collision will be inflated. The airbag was designed to inflate between

the door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided

occupants in side impact collisions.

The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral

deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit

that initiates airbag inflation.

The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that

something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were

not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed

to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or

near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral

deceleration.
