Function and Maintenance
The driver’s seat airbag is designed to deploy instantly upon collision detection by the vehicle’s electronics, providing crucial cushioning for the driver’s torso. Over time, airbags can become faulty due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or damage from prior accidents. It is recommended to inspect the airbag system regularly and replace the airbag if it shows signs of malfunction or after deployment.
