I-airbag yemoto iyithuluzi elibalulekile lokuvikela ekuvikeleni ukuphepha kwemoto, futhi i-airbag yomshayeli ohambisanayo isibe yindinganiso yemoto. Lapho i-airbag yomshayeli ohambisanayo isebenza, i-airbag iyafuthwa nge-gas inflator, bese i-airbag ifakwa ngemva kokwehla kwamandla emali ukuze kufezwe injongo yokuvikela umuntu ohlala kuyo. Indawo entsha yomshayeli ohambisanayo wemoto yanamuhla izoklama isibonisi esikhulu esidlula kuyo yonke indawo yomshayeli ohambisanayo futhi siphakeme kunobuso bephaneli yezinsimbi, okuthinta ukwanda kwe-airbag.
Indlela yokuma kanye nokugoqwa kwesikhwama somoya kunomthelela omkhulu emphumeleni wokunwetshwa, futhi isikhwama somoya kufanele sibe seduze nephaneli yezinsimbi kanye nesikrini sokubonisa ukuze kufezwe umphumela wokuvikela ongcono. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, indlela yokugoqwa kwesikhwama somoya nayo ibaluleke kakhulu. Njengamanje, isikhwama somoya esisebenzisana nomshayeli sinezindlela ezimbili zokugoqwa: enye ukugoqwa kwe-mechanical extrusion, okuwukucindezela isikhwama somoya egobolondweni ngokulawula ingalo yomshini; Enye ukugoqwa kwamathuluzi ngesandla, okugoqwa ngesandla ngesihlukanisi.
Uhlobo lokugoqwa kwe-extrusion ngomshini luzinzile, kunzima ukuba nezinguquko ezinkulu, futhi isikhwama somoya sakhiwa ngokushesha futhi amandla okushaya makhulu, angakwazi ukuhlangabezana nazo zonke izidingo zokuhlola. Ukugoqwa kwamathuluzi ngesandla kungalungisa isivinini sokunwetshwa kwesikhwama somoya futhi ukushaya kuncane, isici esikhulu kunazo zonke ukuthi isimo sengqondo sesikhwama somoya singalungiswa ukuze sihlangabezane nezidingo zokushayisana kwamamodeli ahlukene.
