the position of the seat, the seat
back and the headrest. All the back
should rest on the seat back and the
seat should be moved back as far as
it is practically possible for the dri-
ver, so that staying in the upright sit-
ting position with his arms bent in
elbows, he could hold the steering
wheel. The passenger's front seat
should be moved back to the maxi-
mum and set to the vertical position
lest that he did not experience incon-
venience and discomfort. In the
event of air bag deployment the
improper sitting position can result in
serious injury or death. The air bag
needs space for filling it with gas.
The ABS is a single-use self-con-
tained unit and requires no mainte-
nance during the vehicle operation.
After the ABS actuating the control
unit and the air bag modules, the
seat belts with the pre-tensioner are
subject to mandatory replacement at
the service and sales network enter-
prise (SSNE).
ATTENTION!
1. The air bag does not replace
the seat belt, it only complements
to its operation, thus you should
always fasten the seat belts.
Those who do not use the seat
belts, run the risk of suffering
more severe injuries or even
being thrown out of the vehicle
during road traffic accidents, at
that, the fatal outcome possibility
cannot be eliminated. During the
road traffic accident, the belt
helps to ensure that you take the
safest sitting position in which the
air bag can provide the most
effective protection.
2. Do not attach any objects to
the steering wheel and the instru-
ment panel, because they can
cause injuries during the air bag
deployment. The same danger also
exists in cases when the driver or
the passenger smokes a pipe or
uses a mobile phone while driving.
3. When driving, do not put
your forearms/palms to the loca-
tion where the air bag is mounted.
4. When driving the front seat
passenger must not rest on the
instrument panel and hold any
objects that may cause injury dur-
ing ABS actuating.
5. The ABS diagnostics indica-
tor must be switched on for 3-4
seconds after switching the igni-
tion and then be switched off. The
subsequent diagnostics indicator
actuation in the process of the
vehicle operation means that a
fault in the ABS has been detect-
ed, that's why its actuating during
frontal collision is not guaranteed.
6. Unauthorized interference
with the ABS operation is not
allowed. All relative operations
should be performed only at the
certified SSNEs by the specially
trained personnel.
7. Immediately after the air bag
actuating, some system elements
may have high temperature. To
avoid the burns, do not touch the
hot parts.
8. The skin surfaces with
appearance of signs of irritation,
should be thoroughly washed with
soap solution. If eye irritation,
wash them with clean water. In
case of prolonged troubles con-
sult a doctor.
9. With scrappage the vehicle
be sure to dismantle the ABS
components at the SSNE.
In the design variant the side air
bags are installed in the front seats.
The side air bags are designed to
provide additional protection for the
driver and/or the front seat passen-
