What is the function of airbags?
1 Answers
Airbags are primarily designed to prevent injuries caused by collisions between vehicle occupants and interior components during a car crash. Below is relevant information: 1. The protective principle of airbags is as follows: When a car experiences a certain level of impact force, the airbag system triggers a chemical reaction similar to the detonation of a small explosive. The airbag, hidden within the vehicle, rapidly inflates and deploys, positioning itself between the occupant and the interior components before impact occurs. Upon contact with the airbag, the airbag begins to deflate through small holes on its surface, cushioning the impact and reducing the force exerted on the body. This ultimately minimizes the occupant's injuries. 2. The airbag system can only be inspected using an airbag diagnostic tool. It should not be tested with a test light, voltmeter, or ohmmeter, as the airbag can be accidentally triggered by high test currents. As a critical safety component, airbags protect drivers in the event of an accident. Therefore, regular maintenance is essential. If any issues are detected, even minor ones, it is advisable to visit a 4S store or repair shop for inspection and servicing.
