Checking the airbag system is as easy as anything could be. It just requires your attention to the instrument cluster when starting the engine. During startup, the car’s computer performs a self-check on all major systems, and the airbag system is no different.
As you start the car, you should see a light displaying a symbol of a person and the words "SRS" or "airbag" on the instrument cluster. If the system is functioning correctly, this light will turn off in a few seconds after the check. It is called an airbag warning light.
If the airbag warning light doesn’t turn off and remains lit, it indicates an issue with the airbag system, which needs your immediate attention. In this case, it is recommended to take your car to a service centre immediately and get the airbag system fixed.
The replacement cost of an airbag varies depending on the car, model, and type of airbag. However, prices generally start at around Rs 4,000-5,000. Additionally, service centers will add labor costs, which can vary from one center to another.
It’s important to note that in India, two airbags are mandatory in cars. However, several OEMs are now offering 6 airbags as standard in their cars.
