Chevrolet Trax: When Should an Airbag Inflate? (Mexico)
This vehicle is equipped with airbags. See Airbag System (Mexico) or Airbag System (U.S. and Canada). Airbags are designed to inflate if the impact exceeds the specific airbag system's deployment threshold. Deployment thresholds are used to predict how severe a crash is likely to be in time for the airbags to inflate and help restrain the occupants. Deployment thresholds can vary with specific vehicle design.
Frontal airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near frontal crashes to help reduce the potential for severe injuries, mainly to the driver's or front outboard passenger's head and chest.
Whether the frontal airbags will or should inflate is not based primarily on how fast the vehicle is traveling.
It depends on what is hit, the direction of the impact, and how quickly the vehicle slows down.
Frontal airbags may inflate at different crash speeds depending on whether the vehicle hits an object straight on or at an angle, and whether the object is fixed or moving, rigid or deformable, narrow or wide.
Frontal airbags are not intended to inflate during vehicle rollovers, rear impacts, or many side impacts.
Seat-mounted side impact airbags, if equipped, are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes depending on the location of the impact. Seat-mounted side impact airbags are not designed to inflate in frontal impacts, near frontal impacts, rollovers, or rear impacts.
A seat-mounted side impact airbag is designed to inflate on the side of the vehicle that is struck.
Roof-rail airbags, if equipped, are designed to inflate in moderate to severe side crashes depending on the location of the impact. Roof-rail airbags are not designed to inflate in frontal, near frontal, or rear impacts.
A roof-rail airbag is intended to inflate on the side of the vehicle that is struck.
In any particular crash, no one can say whether an airbag should have inflated simply because of the vehicle damage or the repair costs.

What Makes an Airbag Inflate?
In a deployment event, the sensing
system sends an electrical signal
triggering a release of gas from the

After the frontal airbags and

inflate, they quickly deflate, so
quickly that some people may not
