Active and passive safety
Airbags are safe, but it is essential to follow certain precautions, such as using the seatbelt and maintaining an adequate distance from the steering wheel, to avoid adverse effects.
Explanation
Airbags are safety devices that inflate in the event of an accident to protect passengers. However, it is important to take certain precautions to avoid adverse effects:
- Always wear the seat belt. This helps reduce the impact against the airbag.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 25 centimetres between your chest and the steering wheel. This prevents the front airbag from striking the driver when it inflates.
- Deactivate the front passenger seat airbag if a child seat is placed on that seat.
These measures ensure that airbags operate safely and effectively, protecting the vehicle occupants.
