Functionality of airbag system
The airbag system in a vehicle serves as a supplementary occupant protection and is activated together with the seat belts in critical situations. Sensors constantly monitor driving conditions and trigger the airbags in certain collision scenarios.
These fill with air at lightning speed to form a soft barrier between vehicle occupants and vehicle structures, minimizing injuries. It is essential that only trained and qualified personnel perform maintenance, repair or replacement work on the airbag system, as improper handling can lead to unintended activation and cause significant injury.
