■ If the airbags deploy (inflate)
● When the airbag is deployed at an extremely high speed, it may cause slight
abrasions,.scalds,.congestion,.etc.
● Wash.with.clean.water.as.soon.as.possible.if.the.residue.(gas.etc.).splashed.into.
eyes.or.attached.to.the.skin.while.the.airbag.is.deployed..People.with.sensitive.skin.
may.have.an.allergic.reaction.
● The.airbag.module.components.(steering.wheel,.airbag.cover.and.gas.generator).
as well as the front seats, pillar A and roof side inner rails, may be hot for several
minutes..The.airbag.itself.may.also.be.hot.
● The.windshield.may.crack.
■ Factors triggering the airbags
● The triggering range of the airbag in various accident situations cannot be
generalized,. because. the. specific. conditions. vary. a. lot.. For. example,. the.
properties.of.the.objects.colliding.with.the.vehicle.(hardness),.the.impact.angle.
and.the.vehicle.speed.are.important.factors.in.airbag.triggering.
● The decisive factor in the airbag triggering is the deceleration curve and pressure
curve.generated.during.a.collision..The.sensors.fitted.on.the.vehicle.will.detect.
the degree of the collision accident with the electronic control unit and thus trigger
the.airbags.selectively.and.timely..If.the.vehicle.deceleration.value.or.pressure.
value generated and measured on collision is lower than the preset reference
value within the control unit, the airbag will not be deployed even though the
vehicle.may.have.deformed.to.some.degree.in.the.accident.
■ Operating conditions (Driver airbag/front passenger airbag)
● With the impact exceeding the set critical value in the event of severe head-on
collision.accidents,.the.driver/front.passenger.airbags.will.be.deployed.
● However, the airbags may not be activated if the vehicle strikes a movable or
deformable object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, or if the vehicle is involved
in.an.underride.collision.(e.g..a.collision.in.which.the.front.of.the.vehicle."underrides".
or.goes.under.the.bottom.of.a.truck,.etc.).
● It.is.possible.that.in.some.collisions.where.the.forward.deceleration.of.the.vehicle.is.
very close to the set threshold, the front airbags and the seat belt pretensioners may
not.be.activated.
1-1..Safety.Instructions
● The airbag deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or serious
injury especially if the driver is too
close.to.the.airbag.
● Airbag deployment is accompanied
by a ignition noise and smoke, but it
will.not.cause.a.fire..The.people.who.
suffer from respiratory diseases such
as asthma may breath with difficulty
by. inhaling. the. smog.. In. this. case.
they.shall.exit.the.vehicle.immediately..
Open windows or doors to breath
fresh.air.in.if.they.cannot.get.out.
