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
safety
belts. Air bags distribute
the
force
of
the impact more evenly
over
the occupant’s
upper body, stopping the occupant more gradually. But
air
bags would not help you
in
many types of collisions,
including rollovers, rear impacts and side impacts,
primarily because an occupant’s motion is not toward the
air
bag.
Air
bags should never
be
regarded as anythmg
more than a supplement to safety belts, and then only in
moderate
to
severe frontal or near-frontal collisions.
What will you see after an air bag inflates?
After the air bag inflates, it quickly deflates. This occurs
so
quickly that some people may not even realize the air
bag inflated. Some components of the air bag module in
the steering wheel hub for the driver’s air bag, or the
instrument panel for the right front passenger’s bag, will
be hot for a short time. The part
of
the bag that comes
into contact with you may be warm, but it will never be
too hot to touch. There will be some smoke and dust
coming from vents in the deflated air bags. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver from seeing or from
being able to steer the vehicle, nor will
it
stop people
from leaving the vehicle.
I
When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air.
This dust could cause breathing problems for
people with a history
of
asthma.or other
breathing trouble.
To
avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as
it
is safe to do
so.
If
you have breathing problems but can’t get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then get
fresh air by opening
a
window or door.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate
an
air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the
right front passenger air bag.
The air bags are designed to inflate only once. After
they inflate, you’ll need some new parts for your
air
bag system. If you don’t get them, the air bag system
won’t be there to help protect you in another crash.
A new system will include air bag modules and
possibly other parts. The service manual for your
vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.
