The little person holding a ball icon on the dashboard is the airbag indicator light. Below is an introduction to airbags: Airbag System Introduction: The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%. Reasons for the Airbag Light to Illuminate: Engine self-check: The indicator light will illuminate when starting the car but will turn off after the self-check is completed, usually within about 5 seconds. This is a normal phenomenon. If it does not turn off, it indicates a fault; False fault: Since airbags are controlled by circuits, there are many reasons that can cause the airbag light to illuminate, such as severe battery depletion, which may cause the airbag to send a signal indicating low voltage, generating a fault code. In such cases, clearing the code is sufficient; Actual fault: There are many potential causes for actual faults, such as airbag failure, clock spring failure, collision sensor failure, loose airbag connectors, or circuit breaks. It is necessary to use a diagnostic tool to read the fault code and locate and resolve the issue based on the code. Precautions for Using Airbags: Airbags must be used in conjunction with seat belts; Maintain an appropriate distance from the airbag while seated; Do not place items in front of, above, or near the airbag; Develop good driving habits to ensure a certain distance between the chest and the steering wheel.
