The airbag is a very safe passive safety system, but to avoid adverse effects, we must bear the following in mind:
- It is a complement to the seat belt, so they must always be used together.
- It is advisable for the airbag to be approximately 25 cm away from the body and never less than 10 cm.
- We should avoid placing objects near the airbag or resting legs on the dashboard. When the airbag deploys, very serious injuries could occur.
- When using a rearward-facing child restraint device in a seat fitted with an airbag, it must be deactivated.
