Regarding passive safety systems, what is the relationship between the airbag and the seat belt?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
The **passive safety systems** in a vehicle, such as the **airbag** and the **seat belt**, are **complementary** and cannot replace one another.
- The **seat belt** is essential for keeping people in place during an accident, preventing them from moving abruptly or being ejected from the vehicle. This significantly increases the chances of surviving an accident.
- The **airbag**, on the other hand, activates in the event of a collision to cushion the impact, especially protecting the occupants' face and eyes from potential injuries caused by broken glass or other objects.
- Using the seat belt is crucial for the airbag to function correctly. Without the belt, the impact against the airbag can be stronger and more dangerous.
Therefore, both systems must be used together to provide maximum protection in the event of an accident.
