I-airbag yemoto sisixhobo esibalulekileyo sokukhusela kwi-passive yokukhusela imoto, kwaye i-co-driver airbag iye yaba ngumgangatho wemoto. Xa i-airbag co-pilot isebenza, isikhwama somoya sifakwe kwi-inflator yegesi, kwaye isikhwama somoya sisetyenziswe emva kokunyuka kwamaxabiso ukuze kufezekiswe injongo yokukhusela umhlali. Isikhundla esitsha sanamhlanje somqhubi wesithuthi samandla siya kuyila umboniso omkhulu ohamba kuyo yonke indawo yomqhubi kunye nophezulu kunomphezulu wepaneli yesixhobo, esichaphazela ukwandiswa kwe-airbag.
Ubume kunye nendlela yokugoqa yesikhwama somoya sinempembelelo enkulu kwimpembelelo yokwandisa, kwaye isikhwama somoya kufuneka sisondele kwipaneli yesixhobo kunye nesikrini sokubonisa ukufezekisa umphumo ongcono wokukhusela. Kwangaxeshanye, indlela yokugoqa yengxowa yomoya ibaluleke kakhulu. Okwangoku, i-airbag ye-co-pilot ineendlela ezimbini zokusonga: enye i-mechanical extrusion folding, leyo kukucinezela isikhwama somoya kwiqokobhe ngokulawulwa kwengalo yomatshini; Enye kukusonga isixhobo ngesandla, esongwa ngesandla ngesahluli.
Ifom ye-mechanical extrusion folding is fixed, kunzima ukuba neenguqu ezinkulu, kwaye isikhwama somoya siphuhliswa ngokukhawuleza kwaye impembelelo yempembelelo inkulu, engakwazi ukuhlangabezana nazo zonke iimfuno zovavanyo. Ukusongwa kwezixhobo ze-Manual kunokulungelelanisa isantya sokwandiswa kwesikhwama somoya kwaye impembelelo incinci, eyona nto inkulu kukuba isimo sengqondo sesikhwama somoya sinokuhlengahlengiswa ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zokungqubana kweemodeli ezahlukeneyo.
