What is the airbag indicator?

[Christina]

The airbag indicator features a small seated figure with a round ball in front, serving as a warning light to indicate potential faults in the vehicle's airbag system, such as expiration or electronic circuit malfunctions, which will trigger the light to illuminate. Reasons for the airbag warning light activation include: 1. Engine self-check; 2. Faulty airbag sensor; 3. Malfunctioning airbag control unit; 4. Poor circuit contact. The airbag system consists of: 1. Inflation sensor; 2. Inflation system. The purpose of automotive airbags is to protect occupants by reducing impact with interior components, evenly distributing head and chest collision forces, and absorbing occupant kinetic energy, thereby complementing the seatbelt's effectiveness. The working principle of automotive airbags involves the sensor system continuously transmitting speed change data to the control unit, which analyzes and interprets this information.
