Chikwama cha airbag chagalimoto ndi chida chofunikira chodzitchinjiriza pachitetezo chokhazikika chagalimoto, ndipo airbag yoyendetsa nawo idakhala muyezo wagalimoto.Pamene co-pilot airbag ikugwira ntchito, thumba la mpweya limalowetsedwa kudzera mu inflator ya gasi, ndipo thumba la mpweya limayikidwa pambuyo pa inflation kuti akwaniritse cholinga chotetezera wokhalamo.Masiku ano malo atsopano oyendetsa galimoto amphamvu adzapanga chiwonetsero chachikulu chomwe chimadutsa pamalo onse oyendetsa galimoto ndipo ndipamwamba kuposa pamwamba pa zida za zida, zomwe zimakhudza kukulitsa kwa airbag.
Maonekedwe ndi njira yopindika ya thumba la mpweya zimakhudza kwambiri mphamvu yowonjezera, ndipo thumba la mpweya liyenera kukhala pafupi ndi gulu la zida ndi chophimba chowonetsera kuti chiteteze bwino.Panthawi imodzimodziyo, njira yopinda ya thumba la mpweya ndiyofunikanso kwambiri.Pakali pano, co-woyendetsa airbag ali ndi njira ziwiri zopinda: imodzi ndi mawotchi extrusion pindani, amene ndi kufinya thumba mpweya mu chipolopolo mwa ulamuliro wa makina mkono;Chinacho ndi kupukutira kwa zida zamanja, komwe kumapindidwa ndi dzanja ndi cholekanitsa.
Mawonekedwe a makina opangira ma extrusion ndi okhazikika, zimakhala zovuta kukhala ndi kusintha kwakukulu, ndipo thumba la mpweya limapangidwa mofulumira ndipo mphamvu yokhudzidwa ndi yaikulu, yomwe singakwaniritse zofunikira zonse zoyesa.Kupinda kwamanja pamanja kumatha kusintha liwiro lokulitsa la thumba la mpweya ndipo zotsatira zake ndizochepa, chinthu chachikulu ndikuti mawonekedwe a thumba la mpweya amatha kusinthidwa kuti akwaniritse zofunikira zakugunda kwamitundu yosiyanasiyana.
