Need to cooperate with the use of seat belts to teach you the knowledge of airbags

【Car owner's family car knowledge]Since the birth of the world's first car in 1886, the way we travel has changed dramatically. The car does bring unparalleled convenience to everyone, but with its development and popularity, the number of deaths caused by car accidents every year is also rising. The appearance of airbags has reduced the fatality rate of traffic accidents to a great extent. According to statistics, the fatality rate of drivers in a frontal collision of a car with an airbag device is reduced by 30% for large cars, 11% for medium-sized cars, and 11% for small cars. 14%. But how much do car owners know about airbags? Let's have a correct understanding of airbags.

Where is the trigger point of the airbag

We all agree that airbags deploy when a vehicle is hit hard, but this is a more general statement, and occasionally we see some owners complaining that the airbags didn't deploy in a crash. This is actually not a problem with the vehicle itself, but because the airbag has a trigger position for a collision.

When the frontal collision of the vehicle occurs, the vehicle will make a collision judgment. The trigger point of the airbag is located near the front air intake grille, which corresponds to the steering wheel and the glove box of the passenger in the car.

When the side of the vehicle is hit, the trigger position of the airbag is between the front and rear doors, and the corresponding airbag in the car is the B-pillar position.

Generally, vehicles are equipped with side airbags at the B-pillar position. At present, some high-end models are also equipped with airbags on the A-pillar and the side of the seat, so as to improve safety more comprehensively. In addition, the use of soft interiors can also reduce the damage caused by the collision to a certain extent.

There is no collision trigger point for the airbag at the rear of the vehicle, so when the rear is hit, the airbag will not activate. Proper understanding of the working principle of airbags and the trigger point of vehicle collision judgment can avoid misunderstandings about airbags.

Airbags are equipped in various positions such as the steering wheel, passenger, AZ pillar, B pillar, and the side of the front seat. The airbag can distribute the impact force evenly on the head and chest, preventing the fragile passenger body from directly interacting with the body. Collision greatly reduces the possibility of injury, thereby improving the safety factor of the occupants in the car.
