1 Answers
The cover in the middle of the steering wheel is called the airbag cover. Here are some details about the airbag system: 1. Function: The airbag system is a passive safety protection system (see vehicle safety performance). 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%. 2. Components: The system mainly consists of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The driver-side collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side collision airbag is usually mounted on the dashboard. Airbag sensors are installed on the left, right, and center of the cabin partition; the central airbag sensor and the airbag system are integrated with the electronic control device.
