What should be noted regarding the desired protective effect of airbags?

You answered correctly because airbags are designed to provide protection only when passengers are seated properly. Sitting in the correct position ensures that the airbag can cushion the impact effectively during a collision. Additionally, the area where the airbag deploys—known as the deployment zone—must be kept clear of objects and passengers to prevent injury or reduced effectiveness. However, airbags do not replace seatbelts; seatbelts are still essential for safety and work together with airbags to protect occupants. Always wear your seatbelt properly and avoid placing anything in the airbag deployment zone for maximum protection.
