The reasons for the lack of elasticity in airbag seats are: 1. The airbag has no air; 2. The airbag is leaking or blocked. The usage methods of airbag seats are: 1. Shock absorption limit wrench: In cases of poor road conditions and severe bumps, the limit wrench can be turned to secure the hook to protect the shock absorption system; 2. Slide adjustment handle: Lifting it upward can release the limit, allowing the seat cushion to move back and forth; 3. Front lifting handle: Lifting it upward can raise the front of the seat cushion, adjusting the angle and height of the cushion; 4. Rear lifting handle: Lifting it upward can raise the rear of the seat cushion; 5. Angle adjustment handle: Lifting it upward releases the limit, allowing the backrest angle to be adjusted.
I've been driving a car with airbag seats for several years, and recently noticed they've completely lost their elasticity, becoming uncomfortably hard. It might be due to airbag leakage, commonly caused by aging and brittle rubber materials, or slow air leakage from poor seal connections. Weather factors also play a role, such as high temperatures and sun exposure accelerating material degradation. I tried inflating them multiple times without success, so I had to take it to a repair shop for inspection, which revealed a small crack on the airbag surface. I recommend everyone to pay attention to seat maintenance daily—avoid placing heavy objects on them, check air-tightness regularly, and prevent fatigue from long drives. If elasticity can't be restored, replace the parts promptly, as comfort is crucial for driving.
