Yes, but this really depends on the power of the impact, if it is a light crash they wont but if you get smashed by someone going 100mph while your going 50mph they will deploy -T

They shouldn't!! the impact sensors are on the front end of the vehicle.

Should the air bags in a 1997 Chevy Lumina come out if a tree is hit at a speed of forty miles per hour?

Absolutely. The sensors that detect crash impact strength cannot distinguish what the object is that was hit. Certainly if this was a head-on with another car, you would expect those air bags to work. I believe that the sensors only signal the air bags though on crashes exceeding 15 MPH. If they don't deploy in a crash, then the airbag system is not operating correctly, and needs to be checked out at a manufacturers dealership.

Yes, the air bag will still deploy even when the seat-belt is not buckled. There are sensors on a car in the front or bumper of the car to initiate the dashboard airbag, however in newer cars there are now airbags on the windows too protect from hitting the glass, and those are deployed when hit from the side, and anytime a crash may occur on some cars.

What is the minimum speed that a 2008 Chrysler Sebring can be hit for side air bags to deploy?

There is no minimum speed. Deployment is mostly decided by how fast the car accelerates or decelerates. You could be sitting still and hit from the side and they could deploy. The computer has numerous sensors it uses to determine deployment.There is no minimum speed. Deployment is mostly decided by how fast the car accelerates or decelerates.

How do you turn off air bag?

deploy it.. or get it removed.. there is no disabling it.. the cheapest bet would be to make it deploy itself by putting the car in neutral and giving the bumper in front a quick hit from something that is not going to damage the car..
