The time interval between the
ination and deation of the air
bag affects the driver's control of
the vehicle.
This is very important in the
accidents in which the vehicle is
still in motion after the accident
and the driver has limited control
of the steering wheel, brakes,
speed, and shifting the gears.
The observation of ination and
deation of the air bag is almost
impossible. The only observable
scene is the deated air bag which
has come out of its enclosure. It
is necessary to mention that the
air bag ination can cause wound
and fracture of bones.
In some cases, specially when
the driver's seat is adjusted close
to the steering wheel, the ination
of the air bag may cause severe
dangerous injuries.
In the vehicles equipped with the
air bag system, it is recommended
to adjust the front seat as far as
possible from the steering wheel
to prevent severe injuries or
death in the accidents.
Warning
Do not put anything on the air
bag enclosure or under it, and
around yourself to prevent the
possible injuries caused by
shooting the objects in the case
of air bag ination.
