Airbags combine with the seat belts to reduce the risk of severe head and chest injuries in collisions with a certain severity. If the crash sensors register an impact that exceeds the value needed to trigger the airbags, the airbag control unit ignites the gas generator. This inflates the airbags within 35 to 45 milliseconds. The activated airbags [..]

Airbags combine with the seat belts to reduce the risk of severe head and chest injuries in collisions with a certain severity. If the crash sensors register an impact that exceeds the value needed to trigger the airbags, the airbag control ignites the gas generator. This inflates the airbags, which are located in the steering wheel and the dashboa [..]

Safety device using an inflatable cushion that inflates and deflates within a fraction of a second to protect a vehicle occupant.

The airbag is also called a "Supplementary Restraint System", and in short it consists of an inflatable bag or envelope which keeps the occupants from hitting any hard parts of the v [..]

Part of a vehicle safety system that consists of a bag that inflates during a crash. It’s purpose is to slow an occupant's motion as evenly as possible while preventing impact with the interior of the vehicle. Today’s advanced airbags are highly precise devises, capable of incremental inflation based on the severity of the crash as well as siz [..]

A type of adjustable suspension that contains rubber bags that are inflated and deflated, using an on-board compressed air system, to raise or lower the vehicle's ride height. See also hydraulics [..]

During a moderate-to-severe frontal impact, the airbag is designed to inflate in approximately 1/20th of a second (less time than it takes to blink an eye) and begins to deflate immediately thereafter. In that brief period, the airbag can help reduce the risk of injury to the head and chest of the driver and/or the right front seat passenger Electr [..]

A passive restraint system that uses an explosive device to inflate a bag at a high rate of speed. The bag inflates with a gas and then quickly deflates when a vehicle occupant is thrown into it. It i [..]

Air-filled bag that helps prevent head and upper-body injuries during severe collisions. Front airbags are deployed from the steering wheel and the instrument panel. Side airbags are deployed from the [..]

A highly effective safety device. Airbags are commonly found in steering wheels, in front of the front passenger seat and elsewhere in modern cars. When you have a crash, they immediately inflate, protecting you from hitting hard objects within the car and helping to slow your forward movement as safely as possible.

A fabric bag which automatically inflates in the event of a collision to cushion an occupant. Also a component in a pneumatic suspension unit using compressed air as the main spring.

Automotive Safety Devices consisting of a bag designed to inflate upon collision and prevent passengers from pitching forward. (American Heritage Dictionary, 1982)

A device which is part of the passive safety system. In the event of an accident, sensors will cause the airbag to be deployed so that your head will be pillowed by the bag instead of hitting the dash [..]

An airbag is a safety bag that is triggered under certain conditions when a RV or vehicle is in an accident. Airstreaming:

In RV terms, a sort of shock absorber positioned at the forward and rear axles of a motorhome.

A protective system in automobiles in which when a crash occurs, a bag containing nitrogen, formed by the explosive decomposition of sodium azide, quickly inflates in front of the driver or passenge [..]
