How is the airbag inflated? During
inflation, the sensing system sends
an electronic signal that triggers the
gas generator to release gas to fill
the airbag, causing the airbag to
inflate and eject from the cover. The
gas generator, airbag and relevant
members are all components of the
airbag module. Please refer to
"Airbag Position" for details.
How does the airbag provide
protection? The airbags supplement
the protection provided by the seat
belts by distributing the impact
forces more evenly over the
occupant's body. However, in
collisions where the occupant's
body is not moving in the direction of
the airbag, and in collisions where
an external object has entered the
vehicle, the airbag is unable to
provide the appropriate protection.
The airbag shall only be seen as a
supplementary device to the seat
belt.
WARNING
!
When the airbag is inflated, dust
may be spread in the air. All persons
in the vehicle shall get o the
vehicle as soon as possible. If you
have a breathing problem and
cannot get o the vehicle after
airbag inflation, open the windows
or doors to get fresh air. If breathing
problems occur after the airbag is
inflated, you should seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
What will you see after the airbag
inflates? When the airbag is inflated,
it will deflate so quickly that some
people may not even notice that the
airbag has been inflated because it
deflates so fast. Smoke and dust
may also be emitted from the
deflated airbag vent. If the vehicle
power supply system can still work
normally after a collision, the vehicle
has the functions of automatically
unlocking doors, turning on hazard
warning lamps and turning o fuel
system after airbag inflation. The
driver can use corresponding
function switch to lock doors, turn
o indoors lamps and turn o the
hazard warning lamp. The
deployment of the front passenger
air bag may also cause damage
