Children’s Safety and Side Airbags
Children should not be allowed
in areas where airbags may be
deployed, there is arisk of serious
injury.
Only recommended child restraints
suitable for the age, height and
weight of the child should be used.
DONOT place any items in areas
where airbags may be deployed,

In the event of a side collision, the side
airbags can provide better protection for
the passenger. However, when the airbag is
triggered a very strong expansion force is
generated, if the passenger’s seating position
is not correct, the airbags or items in the side
airbag deployment area may cause injury.
When the correct child restraint is used to
secure the child properly in the rear seat and
the child’s seating position is correct, there
is enough space between the child and the
side airbag deployment region for the airbag
to deploy without any hindrance, and thus
provide the best protection.
