WARNINGS FOR AIR BAG
• 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 the
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Workshop
when trashing or replacing it.
• Incorrect air bag inspection can be dangerous and
cause injuries. The air bag system must be disposed
only at the nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Au-
thorized Workshop.
• Replace the steering wheel with only Ssangyong genu-
ine part.
• When the engine starts, the air bag warning lamp comes
on for a system check. It goes out after 6 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 at the nearest Ssangyong Dealer
or Ssangyong Authorized Workshop.

• 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 can-
not 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.
• Do not move your seat too close to the steering wheel
or dashboard. If you lower your head, the air bag can hit
your head during inflation and can cause severe injury
or even death.
• Hold only the outer rim of the steering so that the air bag
can inflate without any hindrance.
• Do not place your face or chest near the steering wheel
and dashboard. Also, do not allow anyone to place their
hands, leg or face on the dashboard. The air bag can-
not work properly.
