- Do not diagnose the circuit with a circuit tester. Do not attempt to modify any air bag
components including the steering wheel, air bag mounting area, and harness.
- Do not impact any air bag components including the steering wheel, air bag mounting area,
and harness by hand or tools. You may get injured by sudden deployment.
- The air bag components will be very hot after deployment. Do not touch them.
- Once the air bag system is triggered, the triggered air bag assembly should be removed from
the vehicle and replaced with new one.
- The air bag contains explosive materials, so contact Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong
Authorized Service Operation when trashing or replacing it.
- Incorrect air bag inspection can be dangerous and cause injuries. The air bag system must be
disposed only by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.
- Replace the steering wheel with only Ssangyong genuine part.
- When the engine starts, the air bag warning lamp comes on for a system check. It goes out
after 3 to 7 seconds when the system is normal. If this warning lamp stays ON, then the system
may be defective. Have the air bag system checked immediately by Ssangyong Dealer or
Ssangyong Authorized Service Operation.
- The seat belt and air the bags are the most effective when you are sitting well back and upright
in the seat.
- A child restraint system must not be placed on the front seat. The infant or child can be
severely injured by an air bag inflation in case of an accident.
- Do not carry your child on your lap while driving. You cannot resist against the impact pressure
in an accident.
- The child could be crushed between you and the parts of the vehicle.
- Do not place any objects on the air bag inflation location. You may get injured by those objects
during deployment.
- Do not attach any objects such as a sticker, scent bottle, or phone holder on the steering
wheel pad and to the dashboard.
When a severe frontal impact occurs, seat
belt pre-tensioners rewind the seat belts
immediately to restrain the occupants to their
seats. It helps the ef￢fective operation of
the seat belts and airbags.
