identification will be made on the seat
backrest. Side airbag is the supplement of
seat belt. In case of side collision, side air-
bag will reduce the damages to inside pas-
senger and prevent subsequent collisions.
Operating principle
When the vehicle encounters impact from
the side, the sensor will detect an acute
change in vehicle speed and then send a
signal to the control module. If airbag work
condition is met, the side airbag will be de-
ployed instantaneously.
When a side collision occurs, only the side
airbag of impact will deploy. If the impact
occurs on the front passenger's side of the
vehicle, even if there is no one in that seat,
the front passenger airbag will still deploy.
Precautions
〉
The side airbag may not deploy when
the vehicle encounters mild impact such
as what is described below.
Front collision.
Electronic control unit receives a weak
signal of mild side impact.
Rear collision.
Rollover.
〉
Do not place any object over side air-
bag. Otherwise, it will disturb the normal
work of the side airbag.
〉
Never attach any object around the side
airbag deployment area. Failure to ad-
here to this can cause such objects to
dislodge when the side airbags deploy.
〉
Do not remove, repair or modify seat
with side airbag and parts around the
side airbag deployment area.

Curtain airbags
General
The curtain airbag is located on the roof
lower edge; you can find airbag marks on
pillar. The curtain airbag is a supplement
of seat belt. In case of side collision, cur-
tain airbag will reduce the damages to in-
terior passenger and prevent subsequent
collisions.
Operating principle
When the vehicle encounters impact from
the side, the sensor will detect an acute
change in vehicle speed and then send a
signal to the control module. If the curtain
airbag work conditions are met, the curtain
airbag on the collision side will initiate
