Front airbags The front airbags (for the driver and passenger) are safety devices which are designed to intervene in the event of certain head-on collision of sufficient impact. They consist of an instantaneously inflating bag housed in a special compartment: – in the center of the steering wheel
on the driver side;
– in the dashboard and with a larger
size bag (full size airbag) on the passenger side.
The front airbags (for the driver and passenger) are safety devices designed to protect the occupants in the event of a medium or high intensity head-on collision, which act by placing a cushion (bag) between the occupant and the steering wheel or the instrument panel dashboard. In the event of a collision, an ECU processes the signals coming from a deceleration sensor and triggers, whenever necessary, the inflation of the bag. The bag inflates instantaneously between the front passengers and potentially harmful structures. The bags deflate immediately afterwards.
