Frequently Asked Questions

What are side-impact airbags?

Side-impact airbags are safety devices designed to protect passengers during a side collision by inflating between the occupant and the door or seat area.

Do all vehicles come with side airbags?

No. While many modern vehicles include side airbags as standard, some older or base models may not. Always check the safety features when browsing used vehicles.

Are side-impact airbags located in the seats or doors?

They can be located in either. Torso airbags are often built into the seat, while curtain airbags deploy from the roofline above the window.

What's the difference between curtain and torso side airbags?

Torso airbags protect the chest area and are mounted in the seat, while curtain airbags protect the head and typically deploy from above the window.

Can I replace side airbags after an accident?

Yes, but it must be done by a professional technician. Deployed airbags need to be replaced for the system to function properly again.

Do side airbags deploy in all types of accidents?

No. They typically deploy only in moderate to severe side collisions, depending on the impact and sensor activation.

Is it more expensive to insure a vehicle with side airbags?

Not necessarily. In fact, vehicles with more safety features may qualify for insurance discounts. Contact your provider for details.

Are side-impact airbags safe for children?

Yes, but children under 13 should always ride in the back seat with appropriate restraints. Curtain airbags offer added protection in the rear.
