Where Are the Side Airbags Located in a Car?
1 Answers
Car side airbags are safety airbags installed on the outer side of the car seats. Their function is to deploy when the vehicle is subjected to a side impact, protecting the passengers' sides and reducing injuries caused by the collision. Below is a detailed introduction to side airbags: 1. Side airbags are further divided into front side airbags and rear side airbags. Both front and rear side airbags are positioned on the side of the car seats near the windows. Typically, there are seven sensors in the car. When the sensors detect a side impact, the airbags will automatically deploy to protect the safety of the driver or front passenger. 2. The airbag system mainly consists of components such as sensors, a microprocessor, a gas generator, and the airbag itself. The sensors and microprocessor are used to assess the severity of the collision and transmit signals. The gas generator, upon receiving the signal, ignites solid fuel to produce gas that inflates the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand. The airbag capacity is approximately (50-90) liters.
