Seat and Restraint System
89
Airbag
Airbags are parts of the passive
safety system in the car, which can
never replace the seat belts. Otherwise, the
seat belts cannot provide best protection in
a collision. If you do not wear a seat belt,
rapid inflation and deployment of the air-
bags may cause more serious injuries.
Therefore, all passengers inside the vehicle
must fasten their seat belts while the vehi-
cle is moving.
The airbags will not deploy in all accidents,
depending on the position, angle and sever-
ity of collision and nature of the objects
being struck. The airbag deploys with con-
siderable force, and can cause facial abra-
sions or other injuries if the passenger is
very close to the airbag. To reduce the inju-
ries when the frontal airbags are inflated
and deployed, the driver and front passen-
ger should move the seats as far back as
possible without affecting the normal driving
and comfort, to keep a sufficient distance
from the frontal airbags.
Make sure that there no obstacles in
the deployment path of the airbag. Do
not put any objects between the passen-
gers and airbags. If there are obstacles
between the passengers and the airbags,
the airbags could not be inflated properly or
the obstacles could be squeezed into the
bodies of the passengers, causing serious
injuries.
The airbags become hot after deployment.
Do not touch them until they have cooled
down.
When the airbags are deployed, some
gases and dusts will be released. These
gases are non-toxic, but may irritate your
skin and eyes. If you suffer serious discom-
fort, see a doctor.
Do not attempt to service, repair,
remove or replace any component of
the airbag system. Otherwise, the system
may not operate.
Do not add or modify the airbags. Do not
attempt to modify the vehicle structure and
the wire routing of the airbag system.
The airbags must be replaced after deploy-
ment, as the deployed airbags cannot pro-
tect you subsequent collisions.
Improperly restrained and protected
infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by an inflating airbag. An
infant or child who is too small to use a seat
belt should use a child safety seat. Geely
strongly recommends that all infants and
children should sit in the rear seats and
properly restrained. The rear seats are the
safest for infants and children.
