They shouldn't!! the impact sensors are on the front end of the vehicle.
you dont have to be moving at all, you just have to have the key on and get hit in the front with enough force to make the air bags deploy
no minimum speed. the vehicle can be stopped and someone else hit it and bags will deploy depends on where it was hit and how hard
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, I hit a deer going 45-50 MPH...I would have thought the air bags would have deployed...the body shop said I was lucky they did not though.
No , not unless you crash into something in front of you afterwards with enough force for the airbags to inflate
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.
2005 GMC Envoy hit on rear passenger lower side, minimal damage, barely visible to naked eye, but both front air bags deployed. Did the impact cause this?
it will deploy if hit hard enough.
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.

They can deploy in Park if the sensors indicated a hard enough hit.They can deploy in Park if the sensors indicated a hard enough hit.
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..
