6-3. Reducing impact to the occupants in a collision
shown in the system components diagram above. This information includes crash
severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in
the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of
the occupants.
INFORMATION

For Safety Connect subscribers, if any of the following situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call to the response center, notifying them of the vehi-
cle's location (without needing to push the [SOS] button) and an agent will attempt to
speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required.
If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as
an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services.
