WARNINGS FOR AIR BAG (II)
• Do not bang doors. It may cause malfunction in the cur-
tain air bag or the front air bag.
• When mounting a child restraint system in the rear seat
with the curtain air bag, adjust the child seat securely
away from the door as much as possible. Otherwise,
there is a great risk of serious injuries or even death
due to an impact of air bag inflation.
• Hold only the outer rim of the steering so that the air
bag can inflate without any hindrance.
• Do not hold and operate the steering wheel by cross-
ing your arms. You could get seriously injured when the
air bag deploys.
• Do not place your face or chest near the steering wheel
and dashboard. Also, do not allow anyone to place their
hands, leg or face on the dashboard. The air bag cannot
work properly.
• When the air bag inflates, it makes a loud noise and
smoke. However, the smoke is a non-toxic nitrogen gas.
• When the air bag deploys, non-toxic gas will come out.
This gas may cause skin, eyes or nose irritation. Wash
it out with cold and clean water and consult your doctor
if irritation continues.
• The windshield glass may be broken when the
passenger's air bag deploys.
• When any repairs are needed for the steering wheel, or
when an accident occurred without the air bag
deployment, have the air bag system checked by a
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service
Center.
• You could suffer secondary injuries caused by an in-
flated air bag such as an abrasion, a burn or injuries by
broken glass. Non-toxic gas will come out when the air
bag is inflated.
• If the severity of impact to the vehicle is not significant
and the seat belts are enough to protect occupants, the
air bags do not deploy to prevent any secondary injuries
such as cuts, abrasions, or burns.
• Secondary Injury Due To Air Bag Deployment
Burn
Abrasion/Bruise
Any injury by broken glasses
(e.g. sunglasses)
which is included in the air bag module, and the air bag
deploys in a very short time to protect the occupants.
When the air bag inflats, there will be heavy noise, glare
and smoke. You could suffer secondary injuries caused
by inflated air bag such as an abrasion, a bruise, a burn
or injury by broken glasses.
SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG
If the air bag control
module detects the im-
pact during an accident,
it transmits the signal
to deploy the air bag.
This signal triggers the
