Where does the airbag deploy from?
1 Answers
Airbags deploy from the cover at the center of the driver's steering wheel. When a collision occurs, if the impact is severe enough to meet the deployment conditions, the gas generator releases a large amount of gas, causing the airbag to inflate. This pushes the cover open and protects the driver's head and chest, preventing direct impact with the vehicle and reducing potential injuries. An airbag consists of three main components: the airbag itself, sensors, and the inflation system. Its primary function is to mitigate occupant injuries during a collision by preventing secondary impacts or being ejected from the seat in rollover scenarios.
