From a 2009 9-5 tech document which may be similar in design:
"The side airbags, which help protect the upper body are integrated in the outside edges of the front seat backrests. In a side impact, only the airbag on that side will be activated, and only then if certain pre- determined conditions are met such as the force and angle of the impact, the speed of the car on impact, and at which point on the car's side the impact occurs. The sensors, which are fitted in the front doors, sense the rise in pressure caused by the door panel being pressed in during an impact condition. The side airbag trigger will be commanded based on the characteris- tics of this pressure rise."
So force, angle speed play a role in activating a deployment. All the best and a speedy recovery for everyone involved. In spite of the lack of deployment, the 9-5 is one of the few mid-sized vehicles over 10 years old I still feel relatively safe in.
