Chery J11, User Manual, Page: 27 / 152

injured in a collision in which the air-
bag does not deploy.
The front airbag will deploy in a mod-
erate to severe frontal collision or
within the scope of left/right 30 de-
grees collisions. When it touches the
occupant, it instantly deflates to cush-
ion the forward movement of the occu-
pant. An airbag is designed to deploy
in moderate to severe frontal or near-
frontal crash. The airbag will deploy
only if the impact speed is above the
system’s designated threshold level.
WARNING!
Do not put anything on or around the
front airbag covers or attempt to
manually open them. Take your vehicle
to an authorized Chery dealer for steer-
ing wheel, steering column and airbag
system service or you could be injured
because of accidental airbag deploy-
ment.
Airbag Warning Light
When the ignition switch is in ON, the
warning light in the instrument panel
will be turned on and remain on for
3-4 seconds. If the light does not come
on, remains illuminated after you start
the vehicle, or if it comes on as you
drive, take your vehicle to an autho-
rized Chery dealer for inspection. It is
suggested by the airbag manufacturer
that the airbag should be replaced af-
ter 10 years of service because the ef-
ficiencies of the inflating agent and air-
bag deteriorate. If you are not clear
about the service life of your vehicle’s
airbag, your authorized Chery dealer
can answer any questions or address
any concerns you may have. Take your
vehicle only to an authorized Chery
dealer for service.
Child Restraint
Please follow the manufacturer’s direc-
tions exactly when installing an infant
or child restraint.
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child,
even a tiny baby, can become a mis-
sile inside the vehicle. The force re-
quired to hold even an infant on your
lap could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others
could be badly injured. Any child riding
in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child’s size.
NEVER use a backward-facing child
restraint seat on a passenger seat pro-
tected by an airbag. A backward-
facing child restraint should only be
used in a rear seat. A backward-facing
child restraint in the front seat may be
struck by a deploying passenger air-
bag which may cause severe or fatal
injury to the infant.
