Where is the driver-side airbag located in the Baojun 730?
2 Answers
Baojun 730 front side airbags are typically installed on the outer side of the front seats, aiming to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts and prevent direct collision between the torso and door panels. They effectively enhance the safety of front-seat passengers, with some high-end or premium trim models equipped with front side airbags. Below is relevant information: Airbags serve as auxiliary configurations for passive vehicle safety, gaining increasing attention. When a vehicle collides with an obstacle, it's termed the primary collision, while the impact between occupants and interior components is called the secondary collision. Airbags rapidly deploy an inflatable cushion between these collisions, allowing occupants to 'land on the cushion' during inertial movement, thereby cushioning the impact and absorbing collision energy to reduce injury severity.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and have worked with many Baojun models, including the 730 MPV. The driver's side airbag is located right in the center of the steering wheel, specifically in the central area of the wheel. From the front view, there's a noticeable design point where the spokes converge. It's positioned here to inflate rapidly during a collision, protecting your head and chest from direct impact. I've seen cases where owners placed phones or decorations on the steering wheel, blocking the airbag deployment path, resulting in the airbag failing to deploy during accidents and worsening injuries. If the airbag warning light on the dashboard is on, don't delay—get the wiring or airbag module checked. During regular maintenance, have this system inspected to ensure it functions when needed, as safety comes first. The position is fixed and won't change, so never attempt to dismantle or modify the steering wheel yourself.
