When do the airbags open? Talk about occupant restraint system technology

You can often see consumers complaining that my car has crashed like this, and the airbags are not deployed. Isn’t it killing people? Then the manufacturer’s explanation is that the conditions are not met. So what happens to the airbag to open, this is the question we want to answer today.

What conditions does the airbag need to open?

A: Multiple sensors provide information, and accidental activation can also cause great harm

The airbag system on the car passes through multiple sensors The collected information determines whether the vehicle has encountered a sufficiently dangerous collision, and only deploys the airbags if the preset conditions are met. Because the air bag is powerful, and it is easy to cause injury if it is opened by mistake, the opening conditions of the general air bag are still quite strict.

 However, the support will sometimes open

Because the airbags are deployed under the set conditions, So sometimes it may not be a frontal collision, such as a relatively violent underpinning under the front bumper. At this time, the deformation and acceleration of the longitudinal beam may also meet the conditions, and the airbag may also pop up. This is in the manuals of many vehicles (especially hardcore SUVs) It will also be noted in the text, reminding the user to pay attention to safe driving or to turn off the corresponding airbag system.
