The driver airbag is integrated into the steering wheel. In an accident it is inflated within
milliseconds by a gas generator, reducing the risk of the driver's head or chest impacting
the steering wheel during a frontal collision. The airbag acts in concert with the belt
tensioner, which minimizes the slack in the safety belt. To ensure that the restraining
force of the safety belt does not cause injury to the driver during a collision, a belt force
limiter is integrated into the restraint system.

conjunction with a safety belt.
