It indicates a malfunction in the airbag system. Introduction to Airbags: The 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. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%. History of Airbags: The airbag was first proposed by Hetrick in August 1953 and was granted the U.S. patent for "Automobile Safety Cushion Assembly." With the establishment of vehicle safety standards in various countries, the installation rate of airbags has been increasing.
