No. Generally, the presence of airbags is determined by the car model and its intended use. Introduction to Airbag Systems: An electronic airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) protection system. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. During a car collision, airbags can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%. History of Airbag Systems: Airbags were first proposed by Hetrick in August 1953, who obtained a U.S. patent for an "automobile cushion safety device." With the establishment of vehicle safety standards in various countries, the installation rate of airbags has been increasing.

What are the reasons why the airbag cannot deploy?

The reason the airbag cannot deploy is that the detonation conditions are not met. The function and working principle of car airbags are as follows: Function of car airbags: In the event of a traffic accident, car airbags help reduce the severity of injuries to the chest, head, and face during a collision. Before a collision occurs, the car first stops moving, while the passengers inside continue moving forward at their original speed due to inertia. Working principle of car airbags: During car operation, the sensor system continuously sends speed change information to the control unit. If the measured acceleration, speed change, or other indicators exceed predetermined values, the control unit sends an ignition command to the gas generator, or the sensor directly controls the ignition.

Why is the paint protection film not applied to the car roof?

The reasons why the paint protection film is not applied to the car roof: 1. Most car roofs are relatively high, especially for SUVs. An adult standing next to the car cannot see the roof, and scratches caused by years of car washing are also invisible, which does not affect the overall appearance of the vehicle; 2. The roof is not an area prone to scratches. Steps for applying the paint protection film: 1. Clean the car body thoroughly; 2. Spread the paint protection film on the car body and measure and cut it to approximate size; 3. Spray water on both the car body and one side of the film; 4. Position the cut film in place and use a squeegee to remove excess water; 5. After securing it, trim off the excess film, leaving about one centimeter for edge sealing; 6. Use a heat gun to shrink and seal the edges of the film.

How Long Does a Car Remote Key Battery Typically Last?

Car remote key batteries typically last between 4 to 6 years. When the remote key runs out of power, you can first use the mechanical key to unlock the vehicle and then promptly replace the remote key battery. Below are some precautions for using car remote keys: Prevent Magnetic Interference: Do not place the car key near electronic devices that emit radiation, as smart keys use low-intensity radio waves and are highly susceptible to magnetic interference. Avoid Heavy Impact: Do not throw the car key or subject it to mechanical shocks. The chip inside the smart key is fragile, and any impact may damage the key, rendering it unusable. Prevent Water Damage: Smart keys must not get wet, as this can easily cause short circuits and damage. If the key gets wet, lay it flat immediately and dry it with a hairdryer.
