Does the passenger seat have an airbag?
1 Answers
The passenger seat has an airbag. The passenger airbag is installed in front of the passenger seat, typically above the glove compartment on the dashboard, and is a passive safety feature. In the event of a collision, the passenger airbag protects the passenger by isolating the head and torso from direct impact with the panel, cushioning the inertial displacement of the head caused by the collision, and preventing fatal injuries. How the passenger airbag works: 1. When sensors detect a collision, the gas generator ignites, causing an explosive reaction that produces nitrogen or releases compressed nitrogen to fill the airbag. When the passenger comes into contact with the airbag, the collision energy is absorbed through cushioning, thereby protecting the passenger. 2. As a passive safety device, the protective effect of airbags is widely recognized, with the first patent for airbags dating back to 1958.
