Airbag — work for real professionals

Every Focus has factory-fitted airbags on board. Therefore, in these models, work on the steering column and its controls is best left to the Ford workshop. And there, this work is entrusted only to real professionals who, according to special safety instructions, know by heart the problem of handling «compressed air bags»: Under non-professional handling, the airbag inflates within milliseconds.

So keep your hands off at all times if the switches and controls in your car's steering column fail, as strict safety regulations even apply to transporting and storing airbags. For example, a gas generator, which, with its filling of solid combustible material, provides lightning-fast inflation of airbags in the event of a collision, is subject to the strict provisions of the Explosives Act.

Therefore, as a talented amateur and in your own interests, consider the following: an airbag is a case for real professionals.
