Supplemental Restraint System
What Happens In a Crash
If you ever have a severe frontal
collision, the sensors will detect
rapid deceleration and signal the
control unit to instantly inflate the
airbags and activate the automatic
seat belt tensioners.
During a crash, your seat belts will
help to restrain your lower body and
torso, while the tensioners tighten
and lock the seat belts to help keep
you in place. The airbags will provide
a cushion to absorb crash energy
and help keep the head and chest of
the driver and passenger from
striking the interior of the car.
After inflating, the airbags will
immediately deflate. The entire
process, from detection to deflation,
takes a fraction of a second. This
process occurs so quickly that you
may not hear the loud noise created
by the airbag inflators, or realize
what has happened.
After the crash, you may see what
looks like smoke. This is actually
powder from the airbag's surface.
People with respiratory problems
may experience some temporary
discomfort from the chemicals used
by the airbag's activators.
Important Facts About Airbags
Airbags inflate only when needed;
in
a severe frontal collision.
A severe
collision would be similar to a crash
into a parked vehicle of similar size
and weight at 25 mph (40 k m / h ) .
Airbags will not inflate in a moderate
frontal collision, or during a rear
impact, side impact, or rollover —
even if the impact is severe.
