Where Are the Airbags Located in a Car?
1 Answers
There are a total of 5 locations for airbags in a car. The most common ones are one each in the driver and front passenger compartments—the driver's airbag is located inside the steering wheel, while the front passenger's airbag is hidden behind the right-side panel of the dashboard. Side airbags are installed on the outer side of the seats. Head airbags are usually located in the A-pillar, B-pillar, or roof rails. Knee airbags are installed below the dashboard. Rear airbags are hidden inside the rear passengers' seat belts. 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%.
