CONTINUED

After inflating, the front airbags will

immediately deflate, so they won’t

interfere with the driver’s visibility,

or the ability to steer or operate

other controls.

The total time for inflation and

deflation is one-tenth of a second, so

fast that most occupants are not

aware that the airbags deployed until

they see them lying in their laps.

During a frontal crash, your seat belt

restrains your lower body and torso,

and the front 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

such cases, the seat belt will provide

sufficient protection, and the

supplemental protection offered by

the airbag would be minimal.

If you ever have a moderate to

severe frontal collision, sensors will

detect the vehicle’s rapid

deceleration.

If the rate of deceleration is high

enough, the control unit will instantly

inflate the driver’s and front

passenger’s airbags, at the time and

with the force needed.

Only the driver’s airbag will deploy if

there is no passenger in the front

seat, or if the advanced airbag

system has turned the passenger’s

airbag off (see page ).31
