I'm not sure if my side airbag should have deployed or not. I was hit in an intersection on the front quarterpanel drivers side. The impact was over the front tire towards the front. I don't think the airbag would have helped any, but I just wanted to know if it should have deployed for safety reasons in the future. I would like to know under what conditions would my side airbag deploy. Thanks.
