Protective effect
The front airbags supplement the three-
point safety belts by providing additional
protection for the front-seat occupants
in the event of a severe frontal collision
on which the protection afforded by the
belts alone may no longer be sufficient.
The head and side airbags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact.
Each of the side airbags is designed to
help support the upper body.
The illustration depicts schematically
