How Do the Front Airbags Work?
In the event of a collision, the airbag control
unit will monitor the deceleration or
acceleration caused by the collision and
determine whether the front airbags should be
deployed.
Whether the frontal airbags work is determined
not by the vehicle’s speed but by the collision
object, direction of the collision, and the rate of
vehicle deceleration. Therefore, some minor
collisions may cause injuries because the frontal
airbags do not deploy. By contrast, some
relatively small structural damage may result in
the deployment of the front airbags.
The event of serious frontal collision, the two
front airbags and the seat belt will work and
provide protection.
Caution
The front airbags are not intended for
protection against rear impacts, minor
frontal impacts or side impacts. Nor are they
intended to deploy during vehicle tipping.
The front bags do not play a role when the
vehicle is engaged in emergency braking or is
running along a bumpy road surface or
low-lying land.
Warning
If the driver or passengers are not wearing
their seat belts correctly or have failed to
adopt the correct sitting posture, serious
injury or even death may be caused in the
event of an accident.
●
The driver and passengers must make sure
to correctly wear their seat belts and adjust
their sitting posture before beginning a
journey.
●
When driving, do NOT let other
passengers (children), pets or objects occupy
the space between the front passenger and
the airbag. Do NOT cover or paste anything
to the surface of the steering wheel or the
dashboard.
●
On triggering, the airbags will contract
quickly and will not block the driver’s vision.
●
Do Not try to repair, adjust or refit any
part of the front airbags.
●
Airbags can only be triggered once. If an
airbag has been triggered accidentally, you
must go to an authorized BAIC dealership to
have it replaced.
