The airbags are designed to go off only when necessary.

Did you eat steering wheel? If not, then the airbag wasn't necessary.

umm no it wasnt. i did some reading and i think it was because my passenger was not wereing a seatbelt. and my pas seatbelt doent work anymore i think the pretensioners went off or soemthing.

i read there are 2 modes for airbag deployment, fast and slow depending on the type of crash and if the seatbelts are on or off..

i think mine didnt go of because i had my seatbelt on
