Active restraint systems are interlocked, so the airbags are deactivated if the seatbelt isn't clicked in. This is for safety, because if your head isn't a minimum distance from the airbag when it deploys, the exploding plastic cover and bag may kill you rather than save you. People have been decapitated by airbags before, especially young children in the front passenger seat, because they're too short for the diagonal strap to hold their upper bodies back.I mention this because I've heard more than one intelligent person saying that they don't wear their seat belts because their fancy cars have many airbags! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
