the red line in the two figures is the range of ac-
tion when the side airbag is activated and ex-
pands (the expansion zone). Therefore, no items
shall be stored or secured in this area
When a side impact occurs, the system triggers
the side airbag on the collision side to protect
the passenger body on the collision side.

When the vehicle collision triggers the airbag,
the airbag instantly expands at high speed.
● There must be no objects within the expan-
sion range of the side airbags that impede
the expansion of the airbag.
● The occupants of the front seat and the rear
outer seats must not carry children, pets or
any other objects, otherwise, it will occupy
the airbag deployment zone. Both adults and
children must obey this rule.
● The original coat and cap hook in the vehicle
can only be used to hang light clothing,
clothing pockets do not load heavy or sharp
objects.
● No accessories should be installed on the
door!
● Seat sheathing (except for seat sheathing ex-
pressly approved by us for use in this vehicle)
shall not be installed on the seat under any
circumstances, otherwise the side airbags
may not deploy if triggered by an accident.
WARNING
Improper use of the driver's seat and front pas-
senger seat may prevent side airbags from
playing their protective role and result in seri-
ous injury.
● Do not remove the front seat from the vehi-
cle or change the seat components.
● If too much pressure is applied to the side
cushion of the backrest, the side airbags may
not trigger properly, or not trigger at all, or
trigger when it should not.

door airbag assembly are damaged, repair
the damage at a correspondingly qualified
