An '''airbag''' is a vehicle occupant-restraint system using a bag designed to inflate exceptionally quickly and then deflate during a [[Traffic collision|collision]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.iihs.org/topics/airbags |title=Airbags |work=Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) |access-date=7 March 2024}}</ref>
The airbag provides an energy-absorbing surface between the vehicle's occupants and a steering wheel, instrument panel, [[Pillar (car)|body pillar]], headliner, and [[windshield]]. Modern [[vehicle]]s may contain up to ten airbag modules in various configurations, including driver, passenger, side-curtain, seat-mounted, door-mounted, B and C-pillar mounted side-impact, knee bolster, inflatable seat belt, and pedestrian airbag modules.
