Where is the driver's side side airbag detonator located?
1 Answers
Side airbags are generally located on the A-pillar, and the detonator may be inside the door or within the A-pillar. An airbag is a passive safety system device that is only activated when the vehicle is subjected to a severe impact. The airbag determines whether to deploy based on pressure sensors in the airbag system and acceleration sensors in the restraint system ECU. Airbag precautions: Be careful not to place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag. Since the airbag will detonate in an emergency, avoid placing items in these areas to prevent them from being propelled by the airbag upon deployment, which could injure occupants. Additionally, when installing accessories such as CD players or radios in the cabin, follow the manufacturer's guidelines and do not arbitrarily modify parts or wiring within the airbag system's scope to avoid affecting its proper operation.
