Few people pay attention to automobile airbags, and even many models reduce the number of airbags in order to reduce costs. However, at the critical moment of an accident, airbags will directly affect the life safety of the driver and occupants. Therefore, you should also pay attention to maintaining and maintaining the airbag in normal use, so that it can save your life at a critical moment.

     Airbag Inflator for Driver

The car airbag consists of a folded airbag bag, gas generator, igniter and control system. Determine whether the airbag needs to be detonated by several sets of sensors installed in the front of the car. When the vehicle receives a strong impact, the airbag control unit immediately ignites the ignition medium, the flame ignites the ignition powder and the gas generating agent, and produces a large amount of gas. The airbag is inflated within 0.03s to inflate the airbag to protect the driver The critical parts of the vehicle and the occupant.

Airbags are valid for up to 8-10 years. During normal driving, as long as the SRS (airbag) indicator on the dashboard is not lit, it means that the airbag is in normal working condition, but this does not mean that the airbag is daily No maintenance and maintenance are required.

The Daily Maintenance of the Airbags

Do not let the air bag get wet

When washing the car, do not directly flush the airbag position with water to prevent the airbag from getting damp. If the airbag gets damp, it is very likely that the airbag will not pop up normally after an accident or the air pressure will not be enough to provide protection.

Do not knock on the airbag

Do not knock or hit the airbag at any time to avoid the airbag malfunction. The airbag is a double-edged sword and has its unsafe side. It is reported that the speed of the airbag when it pops up is as high as 300Km/h, and the resulting impact force is about 180Kg, which is difficult to bear on the weaker parts of the human body such as the head and neck.

Do not place objects in the airbag cover

When a vehicle is hit hard, the airbag will pop out at a very high speed, so do not place objects on the steering wheel or on the airbag cover. This not only hinders the normal deployment of the airbag, but also the airbag that pops up at a high speed. The items on it will be thrown out at a high speed, hitting people or items in the car, causing great safety hazards.

Find fault signals and repair them in time

The “airbag failure light” on the dashboard can show whether the electrical system of the airbag is faulty. During the vehicle's self-checking process, the airbag indicator will light up for 6 seconds and then go out. If it is always on and blinking, it indicates that the airbag is malfunctioning and needs to be inspected, maintained or replaced.

Not to be Reused

Each airbag can only be used once. Once it is detonated, it loses its protective ability and cannot be plugged back and used again. A new airbag must be replaced. After the update is completed, start the vehicle and observe the airbag indicator status to ensure that the airbag is in normal condition. Working status.
