12. A large quantity of non-toxic gas (nitrogen gas) is generated with a loud noise when the air bag or
seat belt pretensioner deploys. If these airborne particles irritate your skin, eyes, nose, or throat, rinse
the area with cool water. If the irritation continues, see your doctor.
13. The windshield glass may be broken when the passenger air bag deploys.
14. The air bag is a unit to save an occupant's life from a sudden accident and it inflates at a very fast
speed by gas with high temperature, which might cause injury, such as an abrasion, bruise and burn
depending on the accident conditions.
15. The air bag components will be very hot after deployment. Do not touch them.
16. The deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner cannot deploy again. It will work when an additional
impact is applied. Once the air bag system is triggered, the triggered air bag assembly should be
removed from the vehicle and replaced with a new one.
17. The air bag warning lamp is illuminated for 3 to 7 seconds after the engine is started to check
the system. If this warning lamp remains ON, then the system may be defective. Have the air
bag system checked immediately by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service
Operation.
18. Incorrect inspection can result in serious injuries or malfunctions in the air bag and seat belt
pretensioner system.
