What Does the Airbag Warning Light Mean?
The Airbag Warning Light is the light that displays a person sat with a seat belt fastened, with a circle in front of their body representing an inflated airbag.
Depending on the make, model, and age of your car it will either and on-board computer system or mechanism that regularly checks the status of your airbags before every car journey. As a result, you will see the airbag warning light on a regular basis when you get into your car. The Airbag Warning Light will temporarily light up for a couple of seconds when you open your car doors before quickly switching off, indicating that your airbags are working properly.
If your car’s internal detects an issue with any part of the airbag system, the airbag warning light will stay lit constantly to get your attention.
If the light is illuminated then there could be a malfunction in the airbag system. This could result in your airbags not deploying in the event of an accident.
Airbags may not deploy in an accident if your airbag warning light is on so you should completely avoid driving your vehicle when your airbag warning light is on.
What is an airbag safety system?
Outside of older classic cars, every modern car has an onboard airbag safety system. Airbags are sacks built into a car’s interior that are designed to keep the vehicle’s driver and passengers safe in the event of an incident. If the car is in an accident, the sacks are designed to immediately inflate to safely cushion any blows that can potentially seriously injure or kill any drivers and passengers that are inside the car. Depending on the make and model of your car, the airbags can be located in a number of different places, such as the car’s steering wheel, dashboard or even car doors.
