Where is the front side airbag located?

[StevenDella]

The front side airbag is typically installed on the outer side of the front seats. Below is relevant information about airbags: Purpose of installing airbags: The purpose is to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts by isolating direct collision between the torso and door panel, effectively protecting the safety of front-seat passengers. Currently, some high-end or high-configuration models are equipped with front side airbags. Composition of airbags: Airbags mainly consist of components such as sensors, microprocessors, gas generators, and the airbag itself. Sensors and microprocessors are used to determine the severity of a collision and transmit signals. The gas generator, upon receiving the signal, initiates ignition, ignites solid fuel to generate gas that inflates the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand (with a capacity of approximately 50-90 liters). Since their introduction, airbags have saved numerous lives. Studies show that in frontal collisions involving vehicles equipped with airbags, driver mortality rates decreased by 30% in large cars, 11% in midsize cars, and 20% in compact cars.
