How the Airbags Work
Airbags inflate when sensors detect an impact
that exceeds deployment thresholds. These
thresholds are designed to predict the severity
of a crash in time for the airbags to help
protect the vehicle's occupants.
Airbags
inflate instantly with considerable
force accompanied by a loud noise. The
inflated bag, together with the seat belts,
limits movement of occupants to reduce the
risk of injury.
Front airbags are not ordinarily designed to
inflate in rear collisions, rollovers, minor front
or side collisions, heavy braking, or driving
over bumps and potholes. Therefore,
significant superficial damage can occur to
the vehicle without the airbags inflating or,
conversely, a relatively small amount of
structural damage can cause airbags to
inflate.
If you are planning to modify your vehicle for a
person with disabilities in a way that may
aect the airbag system, contact Tesla.
Types of Airbags
Model 3 has the following types of airbags:
Advanced front airbags: The front airbags
are designed to reduce airbag related
injuries if children or small adults are
riding in the front seats. On the driver’s
side, the front airbag works with a seat
position sensor that adjusts the inflation
level based on the seating position of the
occupant. On the passenger’s side, the
airbag responds to a sensing system in the
seat that determines whether or not the
passenger side front airbag
inflates, and
optimizes the inflation level based on the
weight of the occupant. Follow all
warnings related to seating a child on the
front passenger seat.
Knee airbags: Knee airbags and the front
airbags work together. The knee airbags
limit the forward motion of the front seat
occupants by restricting leg movement,
thereby positioning the occupants so that
the front airbags work more
eectively.
Seat-mounted side airbags: There is a
seat-mounted side airbag in the front
seats. Seat-mounted side airbags protect
the thorax region of the torso and the
pelvis. They
inflate in the event of severe
side impact or severe oset frontal
impact. The seat-mounted side airbags on
both the impacted and non-impacted side
of the vehicle will
inflate. When the
backrest of an outboard seat is fully
folded in the forward position, its
associated side airbag does not
inflate.
Curtain airbags: Curtain airbags help
protect the head and typically inflate only
if a severe side impact occurs, or if the
vehicle rolls over. Curtain airbags on both
the impacted and non-impacted side of
the vehicle will
inflate.
