Airbags deploy quickly to provide immediate protection during a collision, reducing the risk of injury to the occupants. The rapid inflation is achieved through a chemical reaction that generates gas in milliseconds when the car's sensors detect a crash. This swift deployment is crucial because it ensures the airbag is fully inflated by the time the occupant moves forward due to the impact, creating a cushion that absorbs energy and minimizes injury.
10 to 25 milliseconds
i have an 1987 190E which comes with an airbag
dont quote me on this, but i think 200 mph
airbag
An airbag travels 200 miles per hour when it is deployed. The process of an accident being sensed and the airbag being deployed takes one twenty fifth of a second.
The airbag light stays on when there is a malfunction in the system. The airbag computer will need scanned to know possible causes.
The airbag light in a 1995 262 will come on when there is an airbag circuit problem. The airbag will not work right in the event of a crash unless the problem is fixed.
air bags use a variety of sensors in order to maintain a safe operation. if a sensor fails then the airbag module shuts down so an accidental deploy does not occur.
Yes, a blown or missing fuse can cause the airbag light to stay on.
The airbag computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
The light come on when the system detects a problem and sets a trouble code. You should have it diagnosed by a trained technician. The airbag system is not for do it yourselfers.
It is important to understand why the warning lights come on. The airbag light will come on in any car if there is an issue with any airbag in the car, an issue with the wiring to or from the air bags, an issue with the horn, or the wiring of the horn.
