Airbag System

Caution
After the front airbag has deployed, some of
its components will be hot. Do not touch it
before it cools down.
Airbags are designed especially to discharge gas
in a controlled way under the pressure of the
vehicle occupant’s body and softly support the
head and upper part of the body. During an
accident, the airbag will continue to discharge
gas to allow normal vision through the
windscreen to be restored.
To promptly provide a protective cushion when
an accident occurs, the airbag will quickly
deploy at very high speed. When the airbag
deploys, a small amount of smoke will be
generated. This is completely normal. Do NOT
mistake it for fire inside the vehicle.
If the vehicle is subjected to severe impact from
the bottom, such as flying over a step, striking a
step or hard object, crossing a deep pit or
scraping the chassis, even if the deformation of
the vehicle is slight, but because the rigid parts
of the vehicle are affected, the airbag may also
expand when the detected deceleration exceeds
the set threshold value.
