Will the airbag deploy if the seat belt is not fastened?
1 Answers
If the seat belt is not fastened, the airbag will still deploy. In the event of an accident where the deployment conditions are met, the airbag will inflate in stages or with reduced force. The function of the seat belt is: during a vehicle collision or when emergency braking is applied, the pretensioner will instantly retract, tightening the slack in the belt to securely restrain the occupant in the seat and prevent secondary collisions. The airbag consists of an inflation sensor and inflation system, and its purpose is to: protect occupants by reducing contact with interior objects, more evenly distributing head and chest impact forces, and absorbing the occupant's kinetic energy, thereby complementing the effectiveness of the seat belt.
