A airbag can not save you from being thrown into the window or being jerked this way and that way or rolling up side down.
If you fail to connect your safety belt and the air bag is deployed as the result of an accident , the air bag could hurt you if not kill you.
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.
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.
seat belts are designed to snap in the event of an accident at 40-mph. Most accidents do not happen at 40-mph because you slam on the brakes. A set belt would protect you from flying forward after slamming on the brakes or incase the air bag is not working.
Generally, an SRS airbag in a Mercedes can be disabled by disconnecting the connecting wires and inserting a resistor. This tells the system the airbag is still plugged in, even though it is technically not.
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.
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.
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.
