What else can I help you with?
What steering position helps minimize injury to your hands and chest in the event the airbag deploys?
low hands 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock
What does an airbag do?
Decreases the force of a collision
How quickly will an airbag deploy?
On sensing a collision an airbag will deploy in an average of just 30 milliseconds.
How far away from the airbag are you supposed to sit?
For optimal safety, it is recommended to sit at least 10 inches away from the steering wheel where the airbag is located. This distance allows the airbag to deploy effectively in case of a collision, reducing the risk of injury. Adjust your seat position and use seat belts correctly to ensure proper protection.
What is the minimum speed that the airbag should deploy in a front end collision in a 2000 Mountaineer?
The force of the collision has to great enough
How can you make sure the passenger air bag is always on on your 2004 Liberty?
The front passenger seat has a sensor built into it and is always on unless a weight between 9 and 45lbs (maybe slightly different) is placed on the seat. This is in case you put a child safety seat on the front passenger seat so as not to deploy the airbag in a collision. The sensor is also intelligent and will vary the deployment depending on how heavy the front passenger is so as to minimize any injury the airbag could cause.
What is the minimum speed for airbag deployment on a 2007 dodge charger?
In the proper type of collision, the airbag could go off if you are sitting still.
When being hit from the rear it is best to to minimize injury.?
Yes ! You are correct sir. When being hit from the rear, it IS best to to minimize injury !
Why is it advantageous to extend the time during which a collision takes place?
Extending the time during which a collision takes place reduces the peak force experienced during the collision, which can help minimize injury or damage. It allows for more gradual deceleration and energy absorption, spreading out the force over a longer period, instead of a sudden impact.
What is the minimum speed for airbag deployment on a 2002 Volvo?
The force of the collision has to be great enough
Can a car be driven right after the airbag has inflated or does it have to be taken to a shop?
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.
Why does a collision with an airbag cause more damage than with a steering wheel?
It doesn't. Your face will be less damaged hitting the airbag than if it hits the steering wheel.
