How the air bag works
The driver's frontal air bag is in the
middle part of the steering wheel
and the front passenger's frontal air
bag is located in the upper part of
the dashboard.
In frontal accident, the frontal air bags
inflate to protect the passengers.
There is no sign which shows at
what speed the air bag deploys.
The function of the air bag in the
Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) depends on the accident
direction and its severity.
These two important factors
determine when the signal of air bag
actuation will be sent. Also, the air
bag inflation depends on the vehicle
speed, accident direction, vehicle
strength, and the objects that the
vehicle hits them.
The air bags inflate and deflate
within 0,1 second.
The time interval between the
inflation and deflation of the air bag
affects the driver's control of the
vehicle.
This is very important in the
accidents in which the vehicle is
still in motion after the accident
and the driver has limited control of
the steering wheel, brakes, speed,
and shifting the gears.
