According to GM, the Institute for Highway Safety United States (NHTSA) is currently conducting tests on the 2013 Cruze uses air bag technology with this bari, which owns part of the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) safety trials testing new cars.
 
Reportedly, the air bags, the Cruze get 5 stars from NTHSA equal to the value received in 2011 and 2012 for cars with air bags kecilnamun using a two-stage system.

The inflator
According to GM, a two-stage air bag system includes inflator nrumi because they have two, one at low speed and one high speed.
