What is a main function of a frontal airbag in a collision for which it is designed?

Correct answer

Cushion impact against the steering wheel or dashboard, supplementing the belt.

Cushion the occupant’s impact against interior components such as the steering wheel or dashboard, as a supplement to the seat belt. It does not replace the belt or guarantee freedom from injury, and does not deploy in every accident. Describing it primarily as protection against windscreen glass fragments is misleading.
