Does the Changan Benben have airbags?
2 Answers
Changan New Energy Benben is equipped with airbags. Purpose: The airbag system is a passive safety feature (see vehicle safety coefficient) protection system. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, the airbag can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%. Precautions: Airbags must be used together with seat belts. If the seat belt is not properly fastened, even with an airbag, serious injuries may occur during a collision. Additionally, maintaining an appropriate distance from the airbag while riding is also necessary.
From an automotive perspective, I understand this inquiry. Airbags are indeed available on the Changan Benben, but it depends on the specific model and year. Based on my experience, models like the Benben E-Star or versions after 2020 come standard with dual airbags, including both driver and passenger sides. This is due to strengthened safety regulations, with microcars progressively enhancing their safety features. Older models such as the 2007 version may only have a driver-side airbag or none at all, so it's advisable to check the vehicle manual or official website data. Airbags are triggered by sensors and inflate instantly during a collision to protect occupants. During maintenance, avoid modifying the electrical circuits to prevent accidental deployment. While driving, airbags are effective only when used in conjunction with seat belts to reduce injury risks. It's recommended to check the SRS warning light on the dashboard and seek immediate repair if it illuminates. Regular vehicle maintenance is essential, as airbags typically have a functional lifespan of over ten years.
