Not Wearing A Seat Belt
Not Wearing A Seat Belt: If the passenger isn’t wearing a seat belt, the airbag won’t deploy. Airbags are part of the vehicle's passive safety system, where the seat belt plays a crucial role. In most cars, airbags activate only after receiving a response from the seat belt. It is recommended to wear a seat belt.
Heavy Protective Grills
Heavy Protective Grills: The heavy protective grill (bullbar or push bumper) installed at the front of the car can also be a reason for the airbags not deploying. Often, these grills prevent the front sensors from reading the impact and sending the signal needed for the airbags to deploy. Consequently, the airbags fail to deploy.
