If the car is off and no one hits you the airbag should not deploy. If you are driving and stopped at a traffic light and someone hits you, the airbag could possibly deploy depending on the impact of the accident.
i was at a demo for the jaws of life, and the guy said if at the seen of an accident and the airbags did not deploy just remove the key from the ignition. the airbag will not go off
One of the air bag sensors is bad. Two are located under the headlights above the front bumper. The third is under the driver's seat. There is an initial check of the airbags upon starting the car. If the airbag system detects a fault it will disable the airbags. So if you are in a crash the airbags will not deploy. Read up on airbags before doing anything, they can deploy while you work on them.
Check under recalls.There may have been a recall on this problem. The airbag controller has detected a problem. The airbags or an airbag may not deploy when called upon.
SRS (Supplimental Restraint System) aka Airbags dont have a set speed that they deploy... They deploy when jolted hard enough or have been strucked in an impact.
The computer looks at the info fromt he impact sensors, sends voltage to the ignitor in the airbags, and the airbag "explodes".
airbag light. if it turns on it means your airbag will not deploy.
There are many reasons that the AIRBAG light come come on. The computer will need to be scanned to get the troubles codes. Trouble codes assist in diagnosis of what circuit has a problem. I would suggest getting that done as soon as possible, because an AIBAG light on may mean that the airbags will not deploy in a collision. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if the light is on the airbags are off-line (not working)
Airbags deploy at up to 300 km/hr.
The airbag module on a 1996 Mazda Miata is located along the front of the vehicle's frame. It is positioned so that it can immediately detect impacts and deploy the airbags.
The minimum speed set by the government for airbags to deploy is 25 mph. The 2007 PT Cruiser should have the airbags deploy at this rate of speed or less. It also depends on the type of collision, when the airbags will deploy.
