Frequently Asked Questions about Airbag Ribbons
Clear all your doubts about operation, symptoms, replacement and purchasing airbag ribbons. Learn how to identify problems and ensure your vehicle’s safety.

How does the airbag work?
The airbag cushions are connected to the vehicle’s speed system. When an impact occurs, the vehicle decelerates suddenly, causing the system to inflate extremely quickly. To give you an idea, up to 30 airbags can be inflated in just 1 second.

Can the airbag fail?
It depends. The airbag will only fail to deploy if there is a bad connection with the airbag ribbon. Always stay alert to the condition of your vehicle’s ribbon.

When should I replace the airbag ribbon?
If the airbag ribbon has problems, it will be indicated on your vehicle’s dashboard. This warning usually resembles an icon of a seated person with a ball in front of them.
A message warning of an airbag fault may also appear. Each vehicle displays this differently and, in case of doubt, it is best to consult the vehicle manual.
Another sign is when electrical components stop working, such as the multimedia system, horn, cruise control or even sound, as in some models the airbag ribbon controls these systems.

What should I do if the airbag ribbon has problems?
The best option is to take your car to a trusted mechanic or workshop. Only professionals have the tools and expertise to assess the ribbon and determine whether it should be repaired or replaced.
If you need a new ribbon, pay attention to the vehicle’s model and year. The Nova Luz team provides repair and installation services, as well as proper guidance in choosing the right part for various makes and models.
