Where are the airbags located in the Civic?
1 Answers
Civic airbags are generally located in front of or below the gear shift lever, marked with the AIR/BAG sign. The airbag system is a passive safety (see vehicle safety performance) 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%. Below are precautions for using airbags: Airbags must be used in conjunction with seat belts. Maintain an appropriate distance from the airbag while riding. Do not place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag. Develop good driving habits to ensure a certain distance between the chest and the steering wheel. Avoid high temperatures; components of the airbag device should be properly stored. Do not alter the airbag system or its surrounding layout without authorization. Airbags are one-time-use products; each airbag can only be used once.
