There are two types of airbags; frontal and the various types of side-impact airbags. Advanced frontal air bag systems automatically determine
if and with what level of power the driver frontal air bag and the passenger frontal air bag will inflate. The appropriate level of power is based upon
sensor inputs that can typically detect: 1) occupant size, 2) seat position, 3) seat belt use of the occupant, and 4) crash severity.
Side-impact air bags (SABs) are inflatable devices that are designed to help protect your head and/or chest in the event
of a serious crash involving the side of your vehicle.
There are three main types of SABs: chest (or torso) SABs, head SABs and head/chest combination (or "combo") SABs.
