Because air bag sensors measur e vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed. Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all colli- sions, and also are needed to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag. The ORC monitors the r [...]

W ARNING! Ignoring the Air Bag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the air bags to protect you in a collision.
