What does 'passenger' mean on a car?
1 Answers
In a car, 'passenger' refers to the passenger seat. The term 'passenger airbag' indicates the co-driver's airbag in the front passenger compartment, while 'passenger' accompanied by a seated figure symbol represents the seatbelt reminder for both the front passenger and rear passengers. Airbags are vehicle safety features designed to protect occupants by automatically deploying during severe collisions. A car's airbag system consists of inflation sensors and an inflation mechanism, functioning to: reduce occupant contact with interior objects, evenly distribute head/chest impact forces, absorb occupant kinetic energy, thereby complementing seatbelt effectiveness.
