When do airbags need to be replaced? Will an airbag that pops out burn people?

As a protective measure, the airbag will pop out instantly when the car is hit. The temperature of the airbag can reach over 90 degrees. Many people worry about whether it will burn people. In fact, it usually won’t, but it is very likely to injure people. Let’s take a look at it together!

When do airbags need to be replaced?

If your airbag has been used for 8-10 years, you need to check it. It also needs to be checked from time to time every 10,000-20,000 kilometers. Don't think it's troublesome. If it is broken, just replace it. Don't listen to the so-called low-cost repair. This is a life-saving thing and is very necessary.

If you find the red airbag fault light on the dashboard lights up during normal driving, the airbag will not pop up and you can continue driving. If the vehicle is involved in an accident, the airbag and seat belt will become ineffective and unable to protect the safety of the occupants. It is recommended to go to a repair shop for inspection as soon as possible.

Will the airbag burn you?

No. But it will hit people, and the force is not small.

Passengers in the front passenger seat must remember to wear seat belts. If a car accident occurs and you don't wear seat belts, it is dangerous whether the airbag is deployed or not. If the airbag is not deployed, you will fly out, and if it is deployed, you can be knocked unconscious or even in danger of life! ? Secondary injuries basically occur when you don't wear seat belts. The time for the seat belt to hold tight and the airbag to deploy are strictly controlled. You must tighten the seat belt first and then deploy the airbag. If you don't wear seat belts, your body will be the first to contact the airbag. At this time, if the airbag is deployed, you will suffer secondary injuries, and the consequences are disastrous, but this is not caused by burns!

Will the airbag hit someone when it deploys?

Airbags can injure people when they pop out, so children in particular should not sit in the front seat. Generally, airbags will not pop out in minor collisions. Only in a major accident will the airbags instantly inflate and pop out. Although this may injure people, it can still play a pivotal protective role in an accident.

Because the gas expands instantly when the airbag pops out, it is like a small gas explosive exploding and releasing gas that instantly fills the airbag. Therefore, it will cause a certain degree of harm to the human body, especially to children. However, it can still provide important protection against the risk of fatal collision accidents. Therefore, it is safer to install airbags.
