Introduction to Air Bag System
The air bag system is part of supplemental restraint system (SRS), supplemental to
the seat belts. In case of a severe collision accident with the system triggering
condition met, the air bag will deploy rapidly and together with the seat belts, provide
additional protection for the heads and chests of the driver and passengers to reduce
casualties.
This vehicle is equipped with front air bags, including a driver air bag and a front
passenger air bag (if any).
CAUTION
When the vehicle is travelling, please always use the seat belt.
Please keep the correct sitting posture to allow the seat belt and air bag system to
exert the maximum protection function.
Do not allow any child to sit on the front seat.
Do not install or remove any air bag parts privately.
Notices for air bag system
The air bag is developed to match the specific vehicle model. Any modification of the
suspension, tyre size, bumper, chassis or equipment installed by the manufacturer will
adversely affect the air bag. Do not fit any air bag part to any other vehicle; otherwise,
the air bag may fail, causing personal injury.
The driver should keep his/her chest at least 25 cm from the steering wheel to obtain
the most effective protection when the air bag deploys. In other words, the front seat
and headrest must always be adjusted depending on the driver's stature and the driver
should always keep his/her arm slightly curved and almost straight.
Do not affix any object to, cover with any object or make any other decorative
treatment of the steering wheel trim cover surface and the front passenger air bag
surface. Clean the surfaces with dry or slightly damped rag only. Do not strike the
surfaces with force.
