Though it isn’t always flashy or glamorous, safety is one of the most important aspects of a vehicle. The technology that goes into keeping you secure on the road is paramount and shouldn’t be underestimated. Fortunately, the 2018 INFINITI QX30 is filled with protective features.
One of these critical safety features is the occupant-sensing airbag. Traditionally, this technology would be applied indiscriminately, but that proved problematic when children or smaller adults were involved in an accident.
Occupant sensing airbags are designed to solve this problem since they are able to tell the size and weight of passenger and adjust direction or strength accordingly to safeguard against injuries. This is very important because serious damage can occur if safety equipment deploys at full force when a smaller rider is present.
Nitrogen as a gas is what causes your airbags to inflate. Sensors in the front of an automobile know if there has been a collision and trigger these safety mechanisms to deploy. Thanks to occupant size-sensing, this can now be done safely for everyone.
The 2018 QX30 features occupant sensing airbags in addition to a number of other amazing amenities, so you can always travel with peace of mind. Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma today and take a test drive!Â
