Driver's Air Bag*
The driver's air bag is stored in the center
pad of the steering wheel.
The air bag inflates within milliseconds dur-
ing a crash and forms a safety cushion for
the driver. After the air bag completely in-
flates, it immediately deflates so that it does
not interfere with the driver's visibility or
ability to steer and operate other controls.
The air bag inflates with considerable force
and speed. It is therefore important that the
driver's seat and seat back should be cor-
rectly adjusted for the air bag to be fully
effective. The driver's seat should be ad-
justed so that the steering wheel can be
reached with the arms slightly angled.
CAUTION
Repairs by unauthorized persons
could cause injury.
Repairs to steering wheel, steering
column and air bag should be done
by only Ssangyong Dealer.
WARNING
The air bag is designed only for fac-
tory equipped vehicles.
Modification will adversely affect
system operation and performance
and may cause personal injury.
