The airbags on all modern cars and
trucks are housed behind panels marked SRS, which stands for Supplemental
Restraint System (or Safety Restraint System). At a minimum a vehicle will have
an SRS enclosure in the steering wheel, and behind a panel on the passenger
side of the front seat.
Objects in a car
have mass, speed and direction. If the object, such as a person, is not secured
in the car they will continue moving in the same direction with the same speed,
even when the car stops abruptly due to external force, which sometimes can
cause serious injuries to the passengers within. Airbags help prevent those
injuries during sudden collision.
In a crash, your vehicle's air bags
could potentially save your life, yet there is a down side. As useful as
airbags are in keeping us safe during a collision, they can also be a
significant hazard, both during a crash and at other times.
Thereby you have to follow some basic
safety rules to keep you away from getting injured, as airbags are very
powerful and they deploy very quickly, and with a lot of force.
Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL)
has bought the life saving tips that will help you protect yourself from being injured
by the airbags that are technically designed to keep you safe.
I. Always wear your lap and shoulder safety belts.
II. Sit as far away as you can from the steering wheel or passenger side dashboard.
III. Always try to keep an adjustable steering wheel tilted down in a level or parallel position.
IV. Hold the steering wheel at the 9 and 3 o’clock or 8 and 4 o’clock positions as this will prevent your wrists or arms being broken or forcibly hitting you in the face when an airbag deploys.
V. Position your thumbs on the top or outside rim of the steering wheel.
VI. NEVER place children under the age of one in the front seat.
VII. Move the passenger side front seat back as far as possible
VIII. Take care that children are secured into an approved child passenger restraint system.
IX. Use rear facing infant car seats for infants as they are the safest
We hope to have helped you, so be safe
and drive safe as. Also, try to be aware and don’t let a safety tool turn out
to be life threatening for you.
