Is there a problem with transporting a front seat passenger who
has their hands restrained behind their body?
This is not a normal riding position for an occupant. The effectiveness of
the passenger air bag will depend, in part, upon the occupant’s seated
position. It is recommended that the seat should be adjusted as far
rearward as possible for this situation, and that the occupant sit as
upright as possible and be properly safety belted. It is recommended that
such passengers be properly restrained in the rear seat if at all possible.
Can conditions encountered in aggressive pursuit driving
situations (e.g., high speed braking, uneven road surfaces) cause
inadvertent inflation of an air bag that might result in loss of
vehicle control?
No. Aggressive pursuit driving conditions do not fit this criteria. Air bags
are designed to deploy in moderate to major frontal crashes based on the
detection of sudden deceleration by sensors in the vehicle.
