Did you see this earlier thread from B Millar ca. 2009? Each side airbag uses a pressure sensor inside the door cavity to sense the side impact.

This is a seldom-discussed topic -- plenty of threads regarding nuisance airbag alarms but nothing about whether they'll actually work when you need it. One of the truly unfortunate consequences of Saab going out of business is that their trove of engineering field data - including car crash histories for the 9-5 fleet - has probably been lost to history. Or squirreled away for proprietary restrictions by GM.
I found the following airbag litigation attorney's blog to be of interest.
