Washington— General Motors Co. said Thursday it will introduce the industry's first front-center air bag, an inflatable restraint to protect drivers and front passengers in far-side impact crashes.

GM said the front-center air bag will be introduced on the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse midsize crossovers in the 2013 model year. This new safety feature will be standard on Acadia and Traverse with power seats and all Enclaves.

Many vehicles now have 10 or more standard air bags — and this is the latest advance in the push to add more protection.

GM said the front-center air bag deploys from the right side of the driver's seat and positions itself between the front row seats near the center of the vehicle.
