Impact cushioning: Inflates rapidly (0.02–0.05 seconds) during a severe collision to create a soft barrier between the occupant and the car’s hard interior—reduces the force of impact on the head, chest, and arms.
Injury reduction: Spreads the collision force across a larger area of the occupant’s body (instead of concentrating it on small points like the forehead or chest) to lower the risk of traumatic injuries.
System synergy: Works in sync with the H230’s seatbelts and crash sensors—seatbelts keep the occupant in the correct position for the airbag to work, while crash sensors ensure the airbag only deploys when truly needed (avoids accidental deployment).
Fits These: All Brilliance H230 variants (matches left interior mounting space, crash sensor system, and inflator specs—confirm with VIN).
Won’t Fit These:
Other Brilliance models: Like H330, V5, or F303—different cabin sizes, airbag mounting positions, or sensor systems (airbag won’t deploy correctly or fit the interior).
Non-Brilliance vehicles: Even if the shape looks similar, their crash sensor protocols and inflator pressure differ (no functional safety protection—may not deploy or cause injury).
Brilliance H230’s right side: Left and right airbags are designed for specific interior positions (right side needs a different part number—deploys in the wrong direction if used on the left).
H230 with modified interiors: Aftermarket steering wheels or dashboards may not have the correct mounting space for the original airbag (prevents proper deployment).
Prep: Disconnect the H230’s battery and wait 10–15 minutes (drains residual power from the airbag system to prevent accidental deployment). Remove the steering wheel/dashboard cover to access the old airbag compartment.
Remove old airbag: Unplug the wiring harness from the old airbag (use insulated tools to avoid short circuits). Remove the mounting bolts holding the old airbag in place—handle it carefully (even deployed airbags have residual components).
Install new airbag: Align 4291023 with the mounting bracket, secure it with the original bolts (tighten to Brilliance’s exact torque specs—over-tightening damages the bracket). Reconnect the wiring harness until it clicks.
System reset & test: Reconnect the battery and use a diagnostic tool to reset the H230’s airbag ECU (clears old fault codes). Check that the airbag warning light on the dashboard turns off (confirms the system recognizes the new airbag as “ready”).
Never modify or repair: Do not attempt to open, patch, or reuse a deployed airbag (it’s a one-time-use device—replace it immediately after deployment).
Check warning light monthly: If the airbag warning light on the dashboard stays on (after startup), take the H230 to a technician immediately (indicates a fault in the system—airbag may not deploy).
Avoid harsh impacts to interior: Do not hit or kick the steering wheel/dashboard (can damage the airbag’s mounting or sensor wiring).
Replace after deployment: Even if the airbag deploys in a minor crash, replace it with a new original unit (deployed airbags lose all protective ability).
Fits: All Brilliance H230 variants (matches left interior mounting space, crash sensor system, and inflator specs; confirm via VIN).
Won’t Fit: Other Brilliance models (e.g., H330, V5, F303) with different cabin/sensor setups, non-Brilliance vehicles (incompatible trigger protocols), H230’s right side (mirror-designed for left deployment), or H230 with modified interiors (no proper mounting).
Impact cushioning: Creates a soft barrier between the occupant and hard interior to reduce head/chest/arm impact force.
Injury reduction: Spreads collision force across a larger body area, lowering traumatic injury risk (concussions, broken bones).
System synergy: Syncs with seatbelts (holds occupants in position) and crash sensors (deploys only in severe impacts, avoiding false triggers).
