What is the function of an airbag? safety
As the name implies, an airbag is an airbag bag that can protect the driver's life in the event of danger. It is usually composed of a folded airbag bag, an inflator, an igniter, and nitrogen solid particles. Several sets of sensors installed in the front of the car sense the impact of the vehicle and foreign objects to determine whether the airbag needs to be detonated. When the vehicle is hit by a strong frontal impact, it will inflate and expand in an instant to protect the safety of the front seat occupants.
According to statistics from relevant agencies, in all potentially fatal car accidents, about 45% of lives can be saved if seat belts are used; if airbags are used at the same time, this proportion will rise to 60%. How can we maintain such a critical component?
Generally speaking, airbags can be maintained for a valid period of 8-10 years. In daily driving, as long as the airbag (airbag) indicator light or fault light on the dashboard is not on, it proves that the airbag is in normal working condition. But it does not mean that this is OK. In the process of use, we should also pay attention to the following points:
First of all, we should never knock or hit the area where the airbag is located at any time. It should not be used to flush the airbag position directly with water, because the damp airbag cannot protect your life at a critical moment.
Then there is the sitting position. Generally speaking, the driver should not lean forward when driving, and the sitting position should be close to the seat. The back chair should be adjusted to be able to comfortably control the car, so that there will be enough room for the airbag to fully play its protective role after an accident.
For vehicles that also have airbags in the passenger seat, children should never be seated in the front seat or placed in a child seat in this position, unless the airbag in this position can be manually turned off, otherwise the airbag will cause great harm to the child when it detonates.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that in the absence of seat belts, airbags not only fail to protect the occupants, but also have serious lethality to the occupants. The explosive power of airbags is amazing, enough to cause serious damage to the driver.
