How does the size of an airbag affect its performance?
The larger the size of the airbag allows more nitrogen (that's right nitrogen not air) for your head to be able to cushion the impact of the crash. However the airbag is not inflated to the max at the time your head comes in contact with it. This is because the airbag will be hard from the amount of nitrogen in the airbag so it deflates a little to make it softer.
How does a srs airbag work?

Is an air bag a complex machine?
Actually no. An airbag is a very simple piece of technology. It's set so that if a certain amount of pressure pushes against the airbag, it inflates at hundreds of MPH, in order for you to avoid being slammed against the dashboard, shards of glass hitting you from the front, or you flying out the window. **** Umm no, pushing against the airbag has nothing to do with it`s inflation. The airbag relies on a collection of sensors and a Airbag Control Module. The sensors are located through out the car depending on how many and what types the car has. It takes more then one sensor being tripped to deploy an airbag. There is also a central accelormetre in the vehicle that must be tripped as well. The need to have all these sensors trip together ensures that and airbag doesn`t blow up in your face if you are involved in a low speed collision. Airbags are pyrotechnic devices that inflate very quickly and can be very dangerous. It`s for this reason that it is undesirable to have them popping off at the first bump and shake. It is common for someone who has met the airbag to have broken ribs as well as bones in their face. If you are planning on messing with the air bag on your veh, unplugg the battery neg cable and pull the SRS fuse as well. Once you`ve done that let the veh sit for a bit to allow the capacitor to discharge.

How do you reset the airbag service light on a 2005 Chevy silverado pu?
The airbag service light is on because it has detected a malfunction. The malfunction may prevent your airbag from deploying properly in a crash, so it is important to trace the cause and repair it. The best approach is to take the vehicle to a competent repair shop where they will connect a scan tool to the airbag module and identify the malfunction. Many airbag system malfunctions are covered by the vehicle warranty, so the dealer may be the best place to start.
