The airbag will deploy during significant frontal crashes or crashes that are up to 30 degrees from the left or the right. The airbag will inflate within a few thousandths of a second and deflate on contact with the occupant, thus cushioning forward body movement. During minor frontal crashes, overturns, rear crashes and side crashes, the airbag will not deploy.
