Airbags works regardless of seatbelt on or not. The design of airbags are supposed to work hand in hand with seatbelt on for maximum effect but will deploy even without seatbelt on.
No. Airbags are part of the SRS (safety restraint system). The sensors would automatically pre-tension the seat belts to reduce occupant's motion on impact, and then deploy the airbag on impact. This integrated the seat belts and airbag into a restraint system, rather than the airbag being considered an alternative to the seat belt. If the seat belts are not buckled up, the seat belt tensioner will have no info on how much forward momentum the driver is having and the airbag would not deploy. Modern airbag have different inflation stages based on the accident severity, but in Persona i dont think they have that.In persona, there is only 1 impulse trigger sensor to trigger both the airbags. So even if there is only the driver in the car and he accident, both the front airbags will deploy. In Preve for example, u have the choice to turn off the airbag for co-driver seat because there are individual impulse trigger for the airbags. The individual trigger there more for a safety reason since some people might put in a rear facing child bolster seat in the front seat, and an airbag deployment will cause the seat to be compressed.
So conclusion, no seatbelt, no airbags..
