When youâ€™re on the road, the safety of your passengers is paramount. Fortunately, INFINITI features a vast array of precautions to keep everyone in the vehicle well. Some of these specifications may be difficult to understand by name alone, since automakers often classify things in slightly confusing ways. However, we are here today to discuss and demystify one such addition to the 2018 Q50, the occupant sensing airbag.

Believe it or not, airbags are not inflated from compressed gas, but rather the products of a chemical reaction of sodium azide, or NaN3. Typically, this molecule is very stable. However, when it is heated, it will disintegrate and produce nitrogen.

Nitrogen as a gas is what causes your airbags to inflate. Sensors in the front of an automobile know if there has been a collision and trigger these safety mechanisms to deploy. This is all well and good for full-sized adults. How about for smaller folks or children, however?

This is where occupant sensing airbags come in. They are able to tell the size and weight of passenger and adjust direction or strength accordingly to safeguard against injuries. This is veryÂ important, because serious damage to smaller riders can occur if safety equipment deploys at full force.

The 2018 Q50 features occupant sensing airbags in addition to a number of other amazing amenities, so you can always travel with peace of mind. Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and take a test drive!Â
