Additional Information About Your Airbags

How Your Front Airbags Work During a frontal crash, your seat belt restrains your lower body and torso, and the airbag helps protect your head and chest.

Although both airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy.

This can happen if the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In If you ever have a moderate to such cases, the seat belt will provide After inflating, the airbags will severe frontal collision, sensors will sufficient protection, and the immediately deflate, so they won’t detect the vehicle’s rapid supplemental protection offered by interfere with the driver’s visibility, deceleration. the airbag would be minimal. or the ability to steer or operate other controls.
