How to maintain the car airbags? As its name suggests, airbags are designed to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. They will not function during normal driving, but in case of emergency, especially head-on collisions, they will play a crucial role in saving your life. When it comes to second-hand cars in Huangjiang, it's also important to pay attention to the maintenance of airbags. Understanding and carefully maintaining your car's airbags is an essential task you cannot overlook.

a. Pay attention to the routine maintenance of airbags. There is an airbag indicator light on the car dashboard. Under normal circumstances, when the ignition switch is turned to the ACC or ON position, the warning light will illuminate for about four or five seconds for self-checking, then it will turn off (Yida Network). If the warning light remains on, it indicates that there is a fault in the airbag system, and it should be repaired immediately to prevent the airbag from malfunctioning or deploying erroneously.

b. Extra care should be taken when children use airbags. Many current airbags are designed for adults, including their placement and height within the vehicle. When inflated, the airbag may pose a risk to children sitting in the front seat. It is recommended to place children in the middle of the back seat and secure them properly.

c. Airbags are one-time-use products. After being deployed in a collision, the airbag no longer has protective capabilities and must be sent back to the repair shop to replace with a new one. The price of airbags varies depending on the model. Reinstalling a new set of airbags, including the sensor system and computer controller, generally costs between 5000 yuan to 10,000 yuan.

d. Do not place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag. Since the airbag can deploy in an emergency situation, do not place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag to avoid them being ejected by the airbag and injuring the occupants. Additionally, when installing accessories such as CDs or radios inside the car, follow the manufacturer's specifications and do not arbitrarily modify parts and wiring within the scope of the airbag system to ensure the normal operation of the airbag.
