Airbags do not replace seat belts.

They are designed to supplement the seat belts.

Airbags offer no protection in rear collisions, or minor frontal or side collisions.

Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can occur in a severe crash, even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags deploy.
