Question 4006

While parking, is an airbag likely to deploy?

  1. Yes, an airbag can deploy at any time.
  2. No, because modern airbag systems are very precise about determining when they should deploy.
  3. This kind of thing depends on the make of the vehicle.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because modern airbag systems are very precise about determining when they should deploy.

No. The airbag deploys when its sensors detect very sharp deceleration, such as in a crash. Modern systems are very precise, and a parking maneuver like the one in the image does not activate it.
