Endabeni yokushayisana, uhlelo lwe-airbag lusebenza kahle kakhulu ukuvikela ukuphepha kwabashayeli nabagibeli.
Njengamanje, isistimu ye-airbag ngokuvamile iyisistimu yesikhwama somoya esisodwa esiteringini, noma isikhwama somoya esikabili. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ijubane liphezulu noma liphansi, isikhwama somoya kanye ne-pretensioner yebhande lesihlalo zisebenza ngesikhathi esifanayo lapho kushayisana imoto efakwe isikhwama somoya esiphindwe kabili kanye nesistimu ye-pretensioner yebhande lesihlalo, okuholela ekumoshweni kwesikhwama somoya ukushayisana kwesivinini esiphansi futhi kwandisa izindleko zokunakekela kakhulu.
Isistimu ye-airbag ekabili enezinyathelo ezimbili ingakhetha ngokuzenzekelayo ukusebenzisa kuphela isenzo se-pretener yebhande lesihlalo noma i-pretener yebhande lesihlalo kanye nokusebenza kwama-airbag amabili ngesikhathi esisodwa ngokuya ngesivinini nokusheshisa kwemoto uma kwenzeka ishayisana. Ngale ndlela, engozini yesivinini esiphansi, uhlelo lusebenzisa amabhande ezihlalo kuphela ukuvikela umshayeli nomgibeli, ngaphandle kokumosha izikhwama zomoya. Uma ijubane lingaphezu kuka-30km/h engozini, ibhande lesihlalo kanye nesikhwama somoya zisebenza ngesikhathi esisodwa, ukuze kuvikelwe ukuphepha komshayeli nomgibeli. Isikhwama somoya esiyinhloko sizungeza nesondo lokuqondisa, kuyadingeka ukugoqa esiteringini, ngokuzungeza isondo lokuqondisa, ngakho-ke ekuxhumekeni kwe-wiring harness, ukushiya umkhawulo, ngaphandle kwalokho ngeke kukhishwe okwanele, ubuningi endaweni emaphakathi, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isondo lokuqondisa alidonswa lapho ujika umkhawulo.
