2005 GMC Envoy hit on rear passenger lower side, minimal damage, barely visible to naked eye, but both front air bags deployed. Did the impact cause this?
"Elevation" is an architect's term for what an engineer would call a "side view". So a front elevation would be a front view, etc.Architects use "plan" for what we call "top view".
The connection between the front office and engineering departments in a company is typically marked by their collaborative efforts to achieve organizational goals. While the front office focuses on customer interactions and business development, the engineering team works to create and maintain products or services. Their cooperative relationship ensures that customer needs are met with innovative and high-quality solutions.
Torque steer is peculiar to front-wheel drive cars reflecting imbalance when power is sent to the front wheels. It causes a shifting sensation, moving the steering wheel to the left or to the right. It isn't a safety issue, rather it is an annoyance, one that automakers are rectifiying by making use of torque vectoring control, what sends braking power to the inner front wheel as needed.
parked a car in front of the river
A grill is a device used for cooking food, where the heat is present underneath whatever is being cooked. Grill is also a word for the metal grate on the front of a car.
Side impact airbags are there to reduce injuries to the head, neck and torso. Like front airbags they deploy instantly on impact. Side airbags deploy from the roof, door panels and seats. Furthermore, like front airbags the side airbags have reduced limb and torso injuries significantly and because of there safety record most new cars are now equipped with side airbags as standard equipment.
The force of the collision , with the front of your vehicle , has to be great enough for the airbags to deploy
No , not unless you crash into something in front of you afterwards with enough force for the airbags to inflate
Frontal Airbags will deploy at at least a 55 mph crash or more.
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.
The force that the air bags deploy isn't as great when the collision is less severe
Only if someone rams the front end of it going about 30 or 40 MPH.
your car could have been hit by a freight train in the rear and the airbags would not deploy unless, of course, you hit something in the front after the rear end collision had already occurred. the sensors are in the front and are designed to deploy the srs units if the occupants are in danger of going forward not backwards as the case in a rear end collision.
An airbag depoys when a hard impact its the vehicle and the airbag automatically deploy's before the driver and passengers hit the front of the car/seat.
I need answer to this ? also
They shouldn't!! the impact sensors are on the front end of the vehicle.
Airbags are designed to deploy only when they might be needed to prevent serious injury. In order for airbags to be effective they must deploy early in a crash; in a frontal crash this typically occurs within the first 50 milliseconds (0.05 seconds). A vehicle's airbag control module relies on feedback from crash sensors to predict whether an event is severe enough to warrant an airbag deployment.Frontal airbags: Frontal airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal crashes. Among airbags with advanced features that include a safety belt sensor, there are different inflation thresholds depending on whether people are using their safety belts. One threshold used by airbag designers is "must deploy" which includes a situation such as an impact into a rigid wall of 10-12 mph for unbelted occupants. The "must deploy" threshold is slightly higher - about 16 mph - for belted occupants because the belts alone are likely to provide adequate protection up to these moderate speeds. Frontal airbags may deploy to help protect occupants in side impacts if there is sufficient forward deceleration during the crash. For example, if a vehicle is moving forward at the time of a side impact, frontal airbags can help prevent serious injuries.Advanced airbags compliant with government crash performance standards have been required in all passenger vehicles effective with model year 2007. Advanced airbags are designed to suppress deployment if weight sensors in the seat detect that a front-seat passenger is small or in a child safety seat. Advanced airbags also can deploy at a lower energy level or pressure when passengers are small or out of position, or if the crash is of very low severity.Side airbags: Because of the small space between an occupant and the side of the vehicle, side airbags must deploy very quickly to cushion occupants from intruding vehicles or objects. Some airbags typically deploy within the first 10-20 milliseconds of a side crash. "Must deploy" thresholds can be as low as 8 mph for narrow object crashes (e.g., trees and poles) and 18 mph for the more distributed side crashes (vehicle-to-vehicle crashes). Several auto manufacturers deploy the side airbags in frontal crashes to help control occupant movement during the rebound phase of a crash. Some curtain side airbags may stay inflated longer to protect occupants in rollover crashes. Allowing the airbags to remain inflated or triggering their deployment during a rollover can help prevent full or partial ejection of occupants.Curtorsey: Institute for Highway Safety
