The car has an additional passive safety system, including an airbag.
The airbag is used to prevent the driver from receiving injury to the face and head in the event of a frontal collision.
The airbag cannot replace seat belts; always fasten your seat belts.
Attention! 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 a light frontal collision because the airbag does not deploy in these situations.
The seat belt reduces the risk of being thrown out of the vehicle in the event of an accident.
Attention! Position yourself correctly in the seat, even if the vehicle is equipped with an airbag.
The airbag inflates very quickly and with great force.
If you are sitting incorrectly, the airbag may not protect you properly and cause injury when it opens.
Before driving, move the seat as far back as possible, but so that it does not interfere with driving.
With your seat belt securely fastened, sit up straight with your elbows on the seatback.
Don't lean forward.
How does an airbag work?
Components of an airbag
1. Air bag module
2. Left front collision sensor
3. Right front crash 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 a low speed frontal collision.
When the collision sensors determine that a frontal collision of sufficient severity has occurred, they complete the circuit, causing the materials in the inflator block to ignite and nitrogen to be produced, which inflates the airbag.
The airbag deflates very quickly after deploying, so it will not block the view of the road.
The air bag deploys with a very loud sound and emits smoke and ash, but is not dangerous and does not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Sudden deployment of the airbag may cause temporary discomfort. The airbag may not deploy in some frontal collisions, even if the vehicle is severely damaged.
This does not indicate that the airbag was defective, but rather that the force of the collision was insufficient to activate it.
Warning! Do not stick or install any objects such as emblems or stickers on the surface of the airbag. This could cause injury to the driver when the air bag deploys.
Warning! Do not install any appliances in front of the windshield. This may prevent the air bag from deploying and cause injury to someone.
Attention! After the airbag deploys, some parts of the airbag system will be hot. Don't touch them.
Attention! The airbag is designed to inflate only once. After that, it will not be suitable for further use. The air bag must be replaced as soon as possible and the vehicle must be checked by a specialist.
