Where Are the Front Side Airbags Located?

[JeremiahRose]

Front side airbags are typically installed on the outer side of the front seats. Below is relevant information about airbags: 1. Purpose of airbag installation: The goal is to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts by isolating direct contact between the torso and the door panel, effectively protecting the safety of front-seat passengers. Currently, some high-end or high-spec models are equipped with front side airbags. 2. Composition of airbags: Airbags mainly consist of components such as sensors, microprocessors, gas generators, and the airbag itself. Sensors and microprocessors are used to assess crash severity, transmit and send signals; the gas generator, based on signal instructions, initiates ignition, ignites solid fuel, and generates gas to inflate the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand, with a capacity of approximately (50-90) liters. Since their introduction, airbags have saved numerous lives. Studies show that in frontal collisions involving vehicles equipped with airbags, driver mortality rates decreased by 30% in large cars, 11% in midsize cars, and 20% in compact cars.
