Where is the side airbag located?
1 Answers
Side airbags are located on the outer side of the front seats. The main functions of side airbags are as follows: Location of side airbags: Side airbags are generally installed on the window side of the outer part of the front seats. Typically, there are seven sensors in the vehicle. When the sensors detect a side impact, the airbags will automatically deploy to protect the safety of the driver or front passenger. Function of side airbags: Side airbags mainly consist of components such as sensors, a microprocessor, a gas generator, and the airbag itself. The sensors and microprocessor are used to determine the severity of a collision, transmit and send signals. The gas generator, based on the signal instructions, initiates an ignition action, ignites solid fuel, and generates gas to inflate the airbag. This rapid inflation helps mitigate injuries caused by side impacts by isolating the torso from direct collision with the door panel, effectively protecting the safety of front-seat passengers.
