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.

Can a Civic modified into a Black Samurai pass inspection?

A Civic modified into a Black Samurai can pass the annual inspection, but it must comply with relevant regulations. According to the regulations, since October 1, 2008, vehicle owners who change the body color, replace the engine, or replace the body or frame must apply for a modification registration with the vehicle management office within ten days after the modification.

Is Lexus an Imported Car?

All Lexus vehicles are imported. Here is the relevant information: 1. This is also the only brand in China so far that is entirely composed of imported cars. In the past, Lincoln was also entirely imported, but Lincoln has confirmed the launch of its first joint-venture model, the Corsair, in China in 2019. As for the level of Lexus, it needs to be analyzed differently according to various situations. 2. The Lexus brand itself is positioned as a luxury brand, as Toyota positioned it this way when launching Lexus. Theoretically, it should be on the same level as BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi). In fact, this is indeed the case in Europe and America, where Lexus is not inferior to BBA. However, in China, Lexus can only be considered a second-tier luxury brand.
