Where is the front side airbag located?
1 Answers
Front side airbags are located on the outer side of the front seats. Their function is to mitigate the impact from side collisions. By deploying, they directly reduce the impact between the body and the door panel, effectively protecting the safety of front-seat passengers. Most high-end vehicles are equipped with this type of airbag, which is mainly installed on the side near the windows. Typically, more than seven sensors are installed in the vehicle. When an impact is detected, these airbags will automatically deploy. The system primarily consists of sensors, a microprocessor, a gas generator, and the airbag itself. The sensors and microprocessor determine the severity of the collision. Through signal transmission and processing, an ignition operation is triggered, using solid fuel to inflate the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand to meet standard specifications.
