Why is the airbag light on in a car?
1 Answers
Reasons for the airbag light being on: 1. Instrument self-check: When starting the car, the instrument panel performs an automatic self-check. The airbag light will automatically turn off after the self-check is completed, which takes about 5 seconds. This is a normal phenomenon; 2. False alarm: If the battery is low on power, it may also cause the airbag light to illuminate; 3. Actual malfunction: It could be due to a wiring issue, and immediate repair is recommended. The airbag system is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, the airbag can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%.
