I got the login detail from Nexa team. Upon logging into the website I see there is vin number. Is this the vin number of the car that will be delivered. How do I decode it to know the model year?

It depends on the car you are driving. If the car detects occupants from the seatbelts (if seatbelts is ON, seat is occupied), then only that particular airbag will inflate which detects that seatbelt is being used.

However some manufacturers use weight on the seat to detect if the seat is occupied or not. In this case, airbag will deploy if the seat is occupied by an adult (and not in case of a lightweight child) regardless of the position/use of seatbelt. But airbags deployed in this scenario will do more harm than good.

Airbags are a secondary/supplementary system, which needs seatbelts (primary system) to function as intended. Use seatbelts everytime you use the car and make kids sit at the back everytime.
