Which side is the driver's airbag on?
1 Answers
Driver-side airbags are generally installed on the outer side of the seat to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts. Here is relevant information: 1. Many manufacturers equip their models with side airbags for both front seats. In the event of a collision, especially a side impact, these airbags can reduce injuries such as fractures to the arms and ribs of rear passengers near the door by preventing direct hard contact with the door panel. 2. The passenger-side airbag is located in the front part of the passenger seat, on the dashboard above the glove compartment, marked with AIRBAG. The side airbag system is designed to protect occupants during side collisions and vehicle rollovers. It is usually installed on the door. In a severe side collision, the door may deform significantly, making it impossible to open and trapping occupants inside. Side airbags effectively protect drivers and passengers from injuries to the waist, abdomen, outer chest, and arms caused by side impacts, ensuring the mobility and escape capability of the upper body.
