Where is the driver's side airbag located?
1 Answers
The driver's side airbag is located on the outer side of the seat, designed to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts. In the event of a lateral collision, the side airbag can reduce physical injuries such as fractures resulting from direct contact between the rear passengers' arms or ribs near the door and the door panel. The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. During a collision, car airbags can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%. The airbag system mainly consists of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and an electronic control unit.
