Will the Airbag Deploy If There's No One in the Passenger Seat?
1 Answers
If there is no one sitting in the passenger seat and the vehicle experiences a severe collision, the airbag may not necessarily deploy. The airbag will only deploy if the conditions for its activation are met. Below are the conditions for airbag deployment: 1. Appropriate speed and collision angle: The airbag requires an appropriate speed and collision angle to deploy. The collision must occur within approximately 60 degrees to the left and right of the vehicle's front center against a fixed object. 2. Speed exceeding 30 km/h: The airbag may deploy only if the speed exceeds 30 km/h. The speed referred to here is not the conventional understanding of vehicle speed but rather the speed at which the vehicle collides with a rigid fixed barrier in laboratory tests. In an actual collision, the vehicle's speed must be higher than the test speed for the airbag to deploy.
