Positions of Airbags
Front Airbag
In case of front impact, front airbags can
effectively protect occupants from being
injured head-on.
When the vehicle suffers from moderate to
severe front impact or nearly front impact
which reaches the triggering condition of the
system, the airbag will be inflated with gas
so as to buffer the forward charging speed
of driver and front passenger, and prevent
the driver and front passenger from hitting
on the steering wheel and dashboard
directly.
The driver airbag is mounted in the center of
steering wheel and the front passenger
airbag in the instrument panel above the
glove box, respectively, marked with
“AIRBAG”.
The inflation and deflation of airbags
complete in a very short time and only
deploy once. These deployed airbags will no
longer provide protection to the occupants
from any subsequence impact.
• Do not press or hit the driver airbag cover
plate with force. Otherwise, the driver
airbag may accidently deploy and cause
personal injury.
• Do not put things or pets in front of the
instrument panel or glove box as well as
on the steering wheel with airbags
installed. They may hinder the
deployment of airbag or cause severe
injury or death of occupants due to its
strong deployment force. Do not modify,
remove, knock or open any front airbag
components or line; otherwise, the airbag
may suddenly inflate or the system will
become inoperable, resulting in personal
injury or death.
During the operation of the vehicle, do
not sit on the side of the seat or lean
against the instrument panel. Any person
stands against or stays very close to the
airbag may be seriously injured or killed
when the airbag inflates. Driver and
passengers must keep a distance of at least
25 cm from the position of airbag.
Contact an authorised PROTON
e.MAS service outlet immediately in
the following cases:
• The front airbags have been deployed.
• The front part of the vehicle was
impacted but the front airbags are not
triggered to deploy.
• The front airbag cover has cracks,
scratches or other forms of damage.
