Explanation
The combination of a lap/shoulder belt and an airbag is the most effective safety restraint in a traffic crash. The lap belt prevents ejection and safeguards your lower body. The shoulder belt restrains your upper body, preventing it from striking the dashboard or windshield. Airbags provide an additional layer of protection. They cushion the impact and reduce the risk of head and chest injuries by inflating rapidly upon collision. To maximize safety, always use both the lap/shoulder belt and the airbag together.
