Is it safest to use a seatbelt and airbag together?

Yes, it is safest to use yourseat belt and airbag together. In fact, airbags are designed to only be used with seat belts. They are not designed to protect you if you are not using a belt. An airbag is even dangerous to use without a seat belt. Using a seat belt without an airbag is not dangerous, it just doesn't give you that extra protection. Not using an airbag is only advised if an underage (under 13 years by SRS recommendation) passenger is sitting in the seat.


Will the airbag deploy if the airbag light is on even by malfunction or does it mean the airbag is just not connected?

It depends on the make and year of the vehicle. Some manufacturers develop systems that will shut down the airbag if a fault is found, some will just shut down a part of the system (say one airbag in a multiple airbag system), some will not shut anything down but just alert you that there is a problem. Please don't try to service the airbag by yourself, they can cause serious injury if set off unintentionally. Also if the airbag is set off, sometimes it is more expensive to repair the system than the vehicle is worth, that is why some insurance companies will total a car if an airbag is deployed even if only minor cosmetic damage is sustained. See your vehicle dealer.

Rest airbag light on 2001 Saturn sl1?

The airbag light indicates that the system has detected a fault with the airbag system. You'll need to take the vehicle to an authorized repair facility and have the airbag system diagnosed. I highly recommend that you NOT attempt this work yourself. Airbags are extremely sensitive, and even a small static discharge can cause release of the airbag. Airbags are expensive and untimely discharges are potentially dangerous.


Will an airbag go off with out a seat belt on?

Yes it will! There is a sensor under the seat (passenger side) that senses the weight of a person in the seat. The Air-bag systems also have a sensor in them that detects sudden impact in specific directions. However - air-bags are designed to be used in conjunction WITH a seat-belt. The idea is - under rapid deceleration, the seat belt locks and the air-bag simultaneously deploys.


Why does the seat belt signal keep flashing when the seat belt is fastened?

If the seat belt signal continues to flash even when the seat belt is fastened, it may indicate a malfunction in the seat belt sensor or buckle. It could also mean that the seat belt is not securely latched, or there may be an issue with the vehicle's onboard computer system. In some cases, a reset of the vehicle's electronics might be needed. If the problem persists, it's advisable to consult the vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic.
