Airbags are part of which safety system?

• A. Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
• B. Passive Safety System
• C. Active Safety System
• D. Safety Control System

Answer: (A)

Airbags cushion occupants and deploy automatically in a crash to reduce injuries, working to supplement the primary restraint rather than replace it. The system that encompasses airbags, sensors, and pretensioners designed to augment the seat belt is called the Supplemental Restraint System. This name directly identifies airbags as part of a restraint setup that enhances protection beyond the belt alone. While airbags are a passive feature because they activate without driver action, the precise term for this whole arrangement is the Supplemental Restraint System. The other options are broader or refer to different roles: Passive Safety System is a general category of automatic protections, Active Safety System includes features that help prevent crashes, and Safety Control System isn’t the standard term for this context.
