Air Bag System
Depending on the vehicle
configuration, the system includes the
following air bags:
Driver frontal air bag.
Front passenger frontal air bag. (If
equipped)
Front side air bag. (If equipped)
Side curtain air bag (if equipped)
For all air bags, the letter “AIRBAG” is
marked on the trim panel or the label
near to its deployment opening. For
frontal air bags, the letter “AIRBAG”
for the driver is located in the middle
of the steering wheel, and that for the
front passenger is located on the
instrument panel. For lateral-impact
air bags, the letter “AIRBAG” is
located on the backrest side, near to
the door. The letter “AIRBAG” for side
curtain air bags is located on the roof
lining trim panel.
The air bag can supplement
protection on the basis of correcting
wearing the seat belt. Although
nowadays the air bags are designed
to reduce the injury risks caused by the
impact force when the air bag is inflated,
all air bags must be inflated rapidly to
exert its effect.
The important notes about the air bag
system are as follows:
Even if an air bag is equipped,
you may also be injured
seriously or lose your life in a
collision accident if you do no
use the seat belt. The air bag is
designed to be used along with
the seat belt but not to replace
the seat belt.
If an occupant sits next to or get
too close to the air bag, he/she
may be injured seriously or lose
life due to inflating of the air
bag. Therefore, never sit too
close to the air bag.
It is forbidden to let a child,
infant, pregnant woman and
the sick and weak sit on the
front seat equipped with air
bag. Never install a backward-
facing child seat on the front
seat for the child may be
injured seriously or lose life
when the air bag is inflated.
The seat belt and air bag can
protect adults and
adolescents but not children
and infants. Children and
infants need special child
protection devices (such as
child seat) to get
corresponding protection.
