Air Bag - SSANGYONG REXTON Owner's Manual

WARNING
Improperly worn seat belt could
cause severe injury.
• Adjust seat belt height before driv-
ing
• Make sure the anchorage is
locked in position.
• Shoulder belts should be posi-
tioned midway over the shoulder,
never across the neck.
CAUTION
Control of vehicle can be lost.
Do not adjust the height of the
driver's seat belt while driving.

AIR BAG*

The air bag Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) can provide additional protection for
the driver and passenger against head and
chest injuries in the event of a collision.
The air bag system activates during a colli-
sion of sufficient force when the ignition key
is in "ON".
When the air bag inflates, an operating noise
may be heard and a small amount of smoke
like gas will be released. The gas is harm-
less and does not indicate that there is a fire.
Injuries, including fatal injuries, can occur in
a severe collision, even if seat belts are
worn properly and the air bags inflate. No
safety system can provide complete protec-
tion in a severe crash. Just from viewing the
vehicle damage after a crash, it is very dif-
ficult to accurately determine if the air bags
should or should not have inflated. In some
cases, where the air bag did not inflate, ex-
tensive visible damage indicate that the car
absorbed much of the crash energy, and the
air bags were not needed. In other cases,
a severe jolt, such as an impact to the un-
der carriage, may not cause extensive body
damage but cause the air bags to inflate.
