The car is equipped with an additional passive safety system, which includes an airbag.
The airbag is designed to prevent the driver from getting injured in the face and head in the event of a frontal collision.
An airbag cannot replace seat belts; always wear your seat belts.
Warning: Always wear your seat belt, even if your vehicle is equipped with an airbag.
The seat belt keeps the driver in the correct position when the air bag deploys.
The seat belt reduces the risk of injury in the event of a rollover, side or rear impact, or mild frontal collision because the air bag does not deploy in these situations.
A seat belt reduces the risk of being thrown from the vehicle in the event of an accident.
Warning: Sit properly in your seat, even if your vehicle is equipped with an airbag.
The airbag inflates with air very quickly and with great force.
If you are sitting incorrectly, the air bag may not protect you properly and may cause injury when it deploys.
Before driving, move the seat as far back as possible without interfering with driving.
With your seat belt securely fastened, sit up straight with your elbows against the back of the seat.
Don't lean forward.
How does an airbag work?
Components of an airbag
1. Airbag module
2. Left front impact sensor
3. Right front impact sensor
4. Diagnostic block
The airbag system includes the following elements:
- collision sensors;
- diagnostic unit;
- signal light;
- airbag module;
- connecting wires.
The airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel.
The airbag only deploys in the event of a severe frontal collision.
The airbag will not deploy in the event of a rollover, side or rear impact, or low-speed frontal collision.
When the crash sensors detect that a frontal collision of sufficient force has occurred, they complete a circuit, causing the materials in the inflator to ignite and generate nitrogen gas, which inflates the air bag.
The airbag deflates very quickly after deployment, so it will not obscure your view of the road.
The deployment of the airbag occurs with a very loud sound and the release of smoke and ash, but this is not dangerous and does not indicate a fire in the car. A sudden deployment of the airbag may cause temporary discomfort. The airbag may not deploy in some frontal collisions, even if the vehicle is heavily damaged.
This does not mean that the airbag was faulty, but rather that the force of the collision was not enough to activate it.
Warning: Do not stick or install any objects such as emblems or stickers on the surface of the air bag. This could cause injury to the driver if the air bag deploys.
Warning! Do not install any devices in front of the windshield. This may prevent the air bag from deploying and cause injury to someone.
Caution: After the air bag deploys, some parts of the air bag system will be hot. Don't touch them.
Warning: The airbag is designed to deploy only once. After this, it will not be suitable for further use. The airbag must be replaced as soon as possible and the vehicle must be taken to a specialist for inspection.
