About Airbag
One of the most crucial parts of the car's safety system are the airbags. An airbag can mean the difference between survival and serious injury or death in a crash situation. The airbag system is a clever and complex piece of kit which is made up of various components, one of the most important being the airbag itself.
Airbags are made out of stretchy material and are housed, usually in airbag covers, compressed tightly beneath this casing. The Prius Toyota airbag is located in the hub of the steering wheel, to protect the driver in a frontal and rollover crash.
The Prius Toyota airbag reacts upon impact by filling with air at exceptional speed, creating a pillow which bursts out of the airbag cover or panel it is secured behind and into the car protecting the driver by cushioning the impact of head or upper body with the interior of the car. The airbag will then deflate afterwards. The Prius Toyota airbag needs to spring into action practically as soon as the crash happens. According to studies, an airbag will activate within 55 milliseconds of impact. You can see why it is imperative that your car's airbag system is fully functional and in good working order as the Prius Toyota airbag must be able to respond accurately and do its job properly. The driver need to be seated in the driving position and wearing a seatbelt for the Prius Toyota airbag to work properly upon impact and to avoid receiving injury from airbag inflation.
If there is damage or a fault with the Prius Toyota airbag the airbag system warning light will illuminate on the dashboard indicating that there is a problem. Once the airbag system warning light illuminates, the system becomes inactive which means if you have a crash the airbags will not work so it is important to address the problem as soon as possible. If the Prius Toyota airbag inflates you will need to replace it with a new Prius Toyota airbag as airbags cannot be reused.
Toyota Prius trivia
- Different countries have different emissions regulations, and just because a make or model will pass in one market, doesn't mean that it will pass in another. The Toyota Prius is the first-ever vehicle to be compliant with emissions regulations across three different continents: Europe, the US, and Japan.
- The third-generation Hybrid Synergy Drive unit is both 35% more powerful and 23% more fuel-efficient than the first gen. It's also 25% cleaner when you measure CO2 emissions!
- You can run your air-con even when the engine isn't running on your second-generation Toyota Prius. That's thanks to the unique electric aircon system and the hybrid-powered battery.
- The second-generation Prius could get 600 miles in a single charge. The third generation added an extra 100 miles to that, and that's despite having the same sized engine!
- The first-generation Toyota Prius concentrated on reducing emissions and succeeded. It is the world's cleanest car, and that's when you factor in not just CO2, but NOx and CO as well.
