Explanation

The airbag is a very safe passive safety system. It prevents occupants from hitting different parts of the vehicle directly. Today there are front airbags for the driver and passenger, side airbags, roof or curtain airbags, knee airbags, etc. For effective protection and to avoid harmful effects, keep the following in mind: - It complements the seat belt, so they must always be used together. - The airbag should be about 25 cm from your body, and never less than 10 cm. - Do not place objects near the airbag or put your legs on the dashboard: when the airbag goes off, this could cause very serious injuries. - When you use a rear-facing child restraint system in a seat with an airbag, you must deactivate the airbag.
