In the event of a side collision, the crash sensor analyzes the acceleration received by the vehicle. When the trigger threshold is reached, it sends a signal to the pillow. The cushion inflates instantly, breaking the fasteners in the seat back and filling the space between the person and the door. It is designed to protect the chest and abdomen of the driver and passenger.
Attention! The gas escaping from the pillow may be a minor irritant.
The side airbag will not deploy in light side impacts, in front or rear impacts, and in the event of a broken contact.
After the first side impact that caused the airbag to deploy, the system is blocked, so if a second side impact follows from the other side (the situation is extremely unlikely), then the second airbag will not work.
After the airbag has deployed, the seat and the electronic airbag control unit must be replaced.
It is forbidden to wear covers on the front seats, because. they will prevent the side airbags from deploying properly.
Side airbag monitoring
The indicator performs the same functions as the front airbag indicator.
