Airbag in a sentence

Honda Cars “will voluntarily replace Takata passenger front airbag inflators… as part of Honda’s precautionary global recall campaign concerning Takata front airbag inflators,” the company said in a statement.

Because airbag sensors measure deceleration, vehicle speed is not a good indicator of whether an airbag should have deployed.

Because of the airbag exit flap design of the steering wheel boss and dashboard panel, these items are not designed to be recoverable if an airbag deploys, meaning that they have to be replaced if the vehicle has not been written off in an accident.

Broad commercial adoption of airbags occurred in many markets during the late 1980s and early 1990s with a driver airbag, and a front passenger airbag as well on some cars; and many modern vehicles now include six or more units.

However, this tubular shaped airbag design has been quickly replaced by an inflatable 'curtain' airbag.

If an airbag deploys too late or too slowly, the risk of occupant injury from contact with the inflating airbag may increase.

In an airbag, the initiator is used to ignite solid propellant inside the airbag inflator.

Knee airbag The second driver's side and separate knee airbag was used in the Kia Sportage (a Korean SUV launched in 1995) and has been standard equipment since then.

Seat belt airbag In 2009, Toyota developed the first production rear-seat center airbag designed to reduce the severity of secondary injuries to rear passengers in a side collision.

Some modern cars include a switch to disable the front passenger airbag, in case a child-supporting seat is used there (although not in Australia, where rear-facing child seats are prohibited in the front where an airbag is fitted).

The first European Ford to feature an airbag was the facelifted Escort Mark V in 1992; within a year, the entire Ford range had at least one airbag as standard.

The greater the pressure within the airbag, the more force the airbag will exert on the occupants as they come in contact with it.

The purpose of the test was to find out how this airbag affects a 3 year old kid who is out of his seat and in the direct reach of the airbag.

This integrated the seat belts and airbag into a restraint system, rather than the airbag being considered an alternative to the seat belt.

Using this information, the airbag electronic controller unit's crash algorithm determines if the crash event meets the criteria for deployment and triggers various firing circuits to deploy one or more airbag modules within the vehicle.

As an important safety component, the quality inspection of the airbag is often the focus of the inspection department.

But there's also the new fear of getting crushed by a pane of glass, getting ripped in half by an elevator, being impaled thanks to a delayed airbag deployment, being blown up by a BBQ grill, and being trisected by fence shrapnel.

High levels of safety include Dual Sensor Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, Adaptive Cruise Control and seven airbags including Driver’s Knee Airbag.

If you or a loved one was injured in a car accident because an airbag did not deploy, it is important that you understand all legal rights and options.

Investigators tested DNA in blood from the steering wheel airbag and the driver's side window and determined Hughes was the driver.
