Uhlelo lwe-Air-bag (SRS) lubhekisela ohlelweni lokuvimbela olungeziwe olufakwe emotweni. Lusetshenziselwa ukuphuma ngesikhathi sengozi, luvikela ukuphepha kwabashayeli nabagibeli. Ngokuvamile, lapho kungqubuzana, ikhanda nomzimba womgibeli kungagwenywa futhi kuthinteke ngqo ngaphakathi kwemoto ukuze kuncishiswe izinga lokulimala. I-Airbag ibekwe njengenye yamadivayisi okuphepha adingekayo emazweni amaningi.
I-airbag eyinhloko/umgibeli, njengoba igama lisho, iyilungiselelo lokuphepha elivikelwe umgibeli ongaphambili futhi livame ukufakwa maphakathi nesiteringi nangaphezu kwebhokisi lamagilavu elinamathiselwe.
Isimiso sokusebenza sesikhwama somoya
Inqubo yayo yokusebenza empeleni ifana kakhulu nomgomo webhomu. Ijeneretha yegesi yesikhwama somoya ifakwe "iziqhumane" ezifana ne-sodium azide (NaN3) noma i-ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). Lapho kwamukelwa isignali yokuqhuma, inani elikhulu legesi lizokhiqizwa ngokushesha ukuze ligcwalise lonke isikhwama somoya.
