When deployed, airbags inflate in milliseconds. They also deflate so quickly that they are often not noticeable during a collision.
Warning: If not handled properly, the airbag may explode. The driver should sit as far back as possible and maintain control of the vehicle. Sitting too close to the airbag may cause serious or fatal injury if it inflates.
For maximum safety in any accident, it is important that all vehicle occupants, including the driver, wear seat belts at all times. This reduces the risk of serious or fatal injury in an accident. Do not lean on or move toward the airbag when the vehicle is moving.
When the airbag deploys, it is possible to scratch the face or body, cause injury from broken glasses, or cause a burn from an explosive deployment.
Note: The electronic control units for the airbags and seat belt tensioners are located near the center console. Do not bring magnetized objects near them.
Do not stick foreign objects to the panels covering the air bags or cover them with other materials.
Each airbag deploys only once. Have deployed airbags replaced at a service station.
It is not permitted to make changes to the airbag system, otherwise the vehicle will lose its operating permit.
After the airbags have been deployed, the steering wheel, instrument panel, all trim parts, door seals, handles and seats must be removed at a service station.
When the airbag deploys, a loud bang will be heard and smoke will appear. These conditions are normal and not dangerous, but in some cases, they can cause skin irritation to the passenger. If skin irritation persists, you should consult a doctor.
Danger: Do not transport teenagers, children, pregnant women, elderly or weak people in the front seats equipped with airbags.
In addition, child seats are not allowed to be installed in such seats. In the event of an accident, the impact of an inflating airbag can cause facial injury or be fatal.
Caution: The airbag may deploy if the vehicle hits bumps or objects lying on dirt roads or sidewalks. Drive slowly in areas not intended for vehicle traffic to avoid accidental deployment of the airbag.
