What does it mean when the front passenger airbag in a Mercedes-Benz is deactivated?
1 Answers
When the front passenger airbag in a Mercedes-Benz is deactivated, it indicates a malfunction in the airbag safety monitoring system. Relevant information: 1. Introduction: The electronic safety airbag (electronic-control-of-safety-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, the airbag can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%. 2. Expansion: It is made of special fabric nylon with a rubber lining and is filled with harmless helium gas during operation. In the event of a collision, the airbag inflates in about 0.03 seconds. This rapid inflation ensures that the airbag is in place in time when the passenger's body is restrained by the seat belt while the head continues to move forward.
