Where is the side airbag located?
1 Answers
Side airbags are located on the side of the seat back, approximately from the shoulder to the elbow area. When installing seat covers, openings must be reserved for them. If seat covers are installed without these openings, they may obstruct the deployment of the airbags. However, most seat cover manufacturers provide these openings. Below is some relevant information: 1. Function: Side airbags are typically installed on the outer side of the seat to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts. In the event of a collision, they prevent direct contact between the body and the door panel, effectively protecting passenger safety. Original factory seats usually have an internal opening at the deployment location of the side airbag on the seat back to facilitate airbag deployment. 2. Car Seat Covers: There are two types of car seat covers: full-coverage and semi-coverage.
