Airbag As an auxiliary device of the occupant restraint system, the airbag needs to be used in conjunction with the seat belt to play a protective role. In the event of a vehicle collision, the airbag can fully protect the occupants in the vehicle. To minimize the risk of injury in the event of a collision, drivers and passengers shall try to maintain a correct sitting position and wear seat belts correctly at all times. Airbags are provided at the positions shown in the figure below. According to the type and installation position of the airbags, they can be divided into the following types:
Safety ① Driver airbag (located under the steering wheel center cover) ② Front passenger airbag (located under the upper cover plate on the right side of the instrument panel) ③ Front seat side airbag (located on the outside of the front seat) ④ Side curtain airbags (located above the doors on both sides, in the ceiling area from A-pillar to D-pillar) The vehicle is equipped with a collision sensor.
In the event of a frontal collision or a side collision that can give rise to detonation of the airbag system (depending on the type and angle of the collision, and the object that collides the vehicle), the airbag system will detonate the airbag at the corresponding position, and the gas generator inside the airbag ignites and releases gas under a certain pressure to make the airbag cover pop open. Then the gas will fill the entire airbag space, forming a buffer protection layer to support the passengers, thereby reducing the risk of injury or death for the driver and passengers. Prompt ● The deployment of the airbag is accompanied by a harmless puff of smoke and sound.
