An "airbag pad" on a car refers to the visible cover on the steering wheel or dashboard where the airbag is hidden underneath; essentially, it's the part you see that conceals the inflatable airbag mechanism, designed to deploy during a collision and cushion the driver or passenger from impact.
Key points about airbag pads:
Location:
You'll typically find airbag pads on the steering wheel (for the driver) and on the passenger side dashboard, near the glove box.
Function:
When a car experiences a sudden impact, a sensor triggers the airbag system to inflate rapidly, pushing the airbag pad outward to absorb the force of the crash.
Labeling:
Often, the airbag pad will be marked with the words "Airbag" or "SRS" (Supplemental Restraint System) to indicate its purpose.
