Where is the passenger airbag located?

[DeRachel]

The passenger airbag is located above the glove compartment, specifically in the area marked 'airbag' above the glove box. Function of the airbag: In the event of an accident, it effectively protects the head and chest of both the driver and the front passenger. The airbag system consists of sensors, an electronic control unit, a gas generator, the airbag itself, and a current limiter. Typically, the gas generator and airbag are integrated into a single airbag module. Sensors detect the severity of a collision and transmit this signal to the controller. The controller processes the signal and, if it determines that the airbag should deploy, immediately sends an ignition signal to activate the gas generator. Upon receiving the ignition signal, the gas generator rapidly ignites, producing a large volume of gas to inflate the airbag.
