The 2019 INFINITI QX50 is a stylish crossover vehicle perfect for your family. Its exterior is beautiful, with clean lines and an elegant front grille. Inside, it’s loaded with amazing features to make you comfortable and keep you safe.
One such feature is the QX50’s occupant-sensing airbags. It can be extremely dangerous if these safety devices deploy but no one is sitting in the associated seats. This is because they are engineered to hit each passenger and the driver at a certain angle and a particular impact. If you are hit from the side where you shouldn’t be, you can be injured.
Additionally, it’s problematic if children under a certain size are hit by airbags. This is where the occupant-sensing variety come in. Have you ever wondered how they work?
Occupant-sensing airbags check for the presence, position, and type of a vehicle’s passenger. In addition, they sense whether a rear-facing child seat is located in the car. In this way, the activator control system will either enable, disable, or control inflation rate accordingly to keep everyone safe.
If you think your family would benefit from the enhanced security of occupant-sensing airbags, stop by your Tacoma INFINITI dealership today and take a test drive of the fabulous QX50.
