An
"airbag" is a safety device in a car that quickly inflates with air when there is a sudden impact or crash. It helps protect the driver and passengers from hitting the hard parts of the car, reducing the chance of injury.

The package will include
side airbag curtains and rollover sensors.
It has dual front, dual front side, and dual front
curtain airbags with rollover sensors.
There are dual - stage driver and front
passenger airbags with occupancy sensors for the front seats.
In addition, this vehicle comes equipped with ample safety features like ignition disable, electronic stability and occupant
sensing airbags.
The driver
knee airbag deployed to protect the dummy's knees and lower legs, but forces on the right foot were just high enough to indicate the possibility of injuries.
The driver and the front passenger also get standard front - and side - impact
airbags with a front occupant - sensing system.
The vehicle also boosts side impact beams and
dual airbags for driver and passenger.
And those third - row passengers do at least get the same roof - rail -
mounted airbag protection as the second - row folk.
Note: Beginning with 2007 models, the Element is equipped with standard side
airbags for front and rear passengers, so these ratings do not apply to 2007 and later models.
There's plenty of standard safety kit, however, including mandatory items like tyre - pressure monitoring, stability control and a plethora
of airbags front and back.
Both models also come standard with a backup camera, side impact beams, and
airbag occupancy sensors.
The sensor for the new front passenger
airbag in the future C - Class can detect every child seat installed.
These two cars set a completely new standard of safety in the compact class - pioneering side - impact
airbags as standard equipment, for instance.
A rollover sensor and three - row side curtain
airbag system are also available as optional safety equipment.
Even though the knee
airbag deployed, intrusion of the instrument panel contributed to a significant risk of injury to the right lower leg and a moderate risk to the left knee.
The standard features are anti-lock brakes, a rearview camera, traction and stability control, a forward collision mitigation system with automatic braking, and
multiple airbag systems.
In the second test, no fuel leakage occurred, but the driver
frontal airbag failed to deploy.
Both cars feature
advanced airbag systems, rear backup cameras for parking, and all - speed traction control, among other features.
Seat - mounted
torso airbags for front seat occupants became standard beginning with 2014 models (they had been optional in earlier models).
Now, this type of information would only be stored in the event of
airbag deployment.
The company expects less than one percent of the total recall population to be affected and will replace the front passenger
airbag on an estimated 1200 Compass SUVs free of cost.
When
defective airbags explode passengers are at increased risk of sustained serious and life - threatening injuries.
Note: If you get the optional third row, the side curtain
airbags don't extend to cover it.
The car has been very reliable for only being in for the curtain
airbags recall and regular service.
I have had an issue with the passenger side
airbag light on with an adult in the seat.
The error can prevent the passenger
airbag from deploying properly during a crash.
Dual -
stage airbags with multiple thresholds protect the driver and front passenger.
It's very simple,
if airbag is active the front seat is a bad place for a child.
The more safety devices
like airbags installed in your car the better is your chance to get friendly rate.
Puppies can be crushed
by airbags deploying, so keep the little guy in the back seat.
The company reports that these components are not operating properly and have been responsible for the
faulty airbag deployment.
A suite of front - seat and full - length side curtain
airbags protect passengers, while the available trailer - brake controller can be fully integrated into the truck's systems.
Passenger and
window airbags are restricted to the options list alongside a land departure warning system and rear parking sensors.
Essentially turning your car into a giant motorcycle
without airbags doesn't seem like a good idea for the little ones.
The dummy's head barely contacted the frontal
airbag before sliding off the right side, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure.
Many cars, including not only luxury models but also some popular and less expensive cars, are being equipped with side
airbags designed to protect people's heads.
The frontal
airbag module also detached from the steering column, which didn't appear to affect the dummy's movement because it occurred relatively late in the crash.
- If the red
airbag warning light (in the instrument cluster) remains illuminated after the vehicle is started, customers should take their vehicle to the dealership for immediate diagnostics and repairs.
The dummy's movement was well - controlled, and the front and side curtain
airbags worked well together to keep the head away from any stiff structure or outside objects.
There are also
airbags which are in the front seat side as well as a full - length side curtain.
When vehicles do roll, side curtain
airbags help protect the people inside, and belt use is essential.
Beginning with 2008 models, the side torso
airbags also became standard.
Safety features such as ABS and dual front
airbags come as standard.
As was the case then, the new batch is to have front - passenger
airbags replaced.
