If an airbag is under-inflated, it may not deploy properly or fully during a collision, significantly reducing its effectiveness in protecting the occupants. This can lead to increased risk of injury, as the airbag may not provide adequate cushioning or support to absorb the impact. Additionally, an under-inflated airbag may not deploy at the right time, further compromising safety during an accident. Regular maintenance and checks are essential to ensure airbags are functioning correctly.

What is a driver airbag squib?
This is an educated guess... A squib is a firework (aka pyrotechnic) and most airbag designs are inflated by pyrotechnic means. Therefore I believe the squib is the charge that triggers airbag inflation.

It can be driven but unless the airbag is stuffed back in or cut out it will get in the way while steering. Not to mention you won't have an airbag if you get into another front end collision.
What chemical reaction occurs when an airbag is inflated?
When an airbag is inflated, a chemical reaction involving the rapid decomposition of sodium azide (NaN3) occurs. This reaction produces nitrogen gas (N2) which rapidly fills the airbag, causing it to inflate quickly to protect the occupants of the vehicle in the event of a collision.

Can tires be hazardous if over inflated or under inflated?
Yes, tires can be hazardous if they are over-inflated or under-inflated. Over-inflated tires can lead to reduced traction, a harsher ride, and an increased risk of blowouts due to excessive pressure. Conversely, under-inflated tires can cause poor handling, increased tire wear, and overheating, which can also result in blowouts. Maintaining the correct tire pressure is essential for safety and optimal vehicle performance.
Could under inflated tires cause heat that could lead to tire blowouts?
Yes, under-inflated tires are dangerous. They can also leave the rim under heavy cornering.
