An airbag is a supplementary passive safety system designed to cushion occupants during a collision. It rapidly inflates from a stored compartment upon impact, detected by crash sensors, to prevent the occupant from striking the vehicle's interior. It works in conjunction with seatbelts to maximise protection.
Airbags are considered passive safety systems. Unlike active safety systems that help prevent an accident (like ABS or ESP), passive systems like airbags and seatbelts work to minimise injuries once an accident has already occurred.
Absolutely. Seatbelts are mandatory and crucial for the effective and safe deployment of airbags. Airbags are designed to supplement seatbelts, not replace them. Without a seatbelt, an airbag can cause severe injury or even death due to the force of its deployment.
No, it is strictly prohibited to place a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat if the vehicle's front airbag for that position is active. The airbag must be deactivated to prevent serious injury to the child during deployment, as per Portuguese traffic law (Código da Estrada, Article 55).
For optimal safety and to prevent injury from airbag deployment, drivers should maintain a minimum distance of approximately 25 centimetres (10 inches) between their chest and the centre of the steering wheel, where the airbag is housed. This ensures sufficient space for the airbag to inflate fully.
By completing Airbags & Restraints, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Portugal. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
