ROTE
1. Nf you fail to wear each seat belt
correctly, it will greatly increase the
possibilities of serious injuries or death
in the case of accidents, even if the SAS
air bags are equipped.
9. Do not allow children to stand in
front of the SAS air bag or hold
children on your knees.
Aefer to "Nnstructions on seat
belts ".
For more details of the warning,
see the following ROTE.
The reasons are:
• The air bags are only supplemental
restraint devices. Therefore, the air bags
alone will not support you securely in
the event of severe frontal collision.
Moreover, the air bags inflate rapidly,
and they deflate immediately. Hence,
they can not protect you from impacts
once the air bags have deflated.
• The effectiveness of SAS air bags will
reduce serious bodily injuries which
may be caused if you do not wear each
seat belt securely or are not seated
correctly. This is because not only the
SAS air bags may fail to reduce impacts
applied to you, but also because they
may hurt you by its operation due to
improper distance between the steering
wheel, instrument panel and your body.
• hen the warning light is illuminated
or flashes, there will be cases where
the SAS air bags do not operate, even
if the vehicle is subjected to severe
frontal collisions.
• The SAS air bags operate only in
severe frontal collisions.
Therefore, there are the possibilities that
the SAS air bags may not operate when
low-level impacts are applied to the
sensor in the control unit, for example,
in the following cases given below:
• Frontal collision to a concrete wall
with a speed of less than 25 km/h;
• hen your vehicle dives into below
the rear cargo bed of a large-sized
truck;
• hen your vehicle receives
impacts from the side or rear of the
vehicle;
• hen your vehicle collides with an
electricity pole, etc.
• hen your vehicle turns sideways
or turns over.
2. Do not lean on the steering wheel/
instrument panel (air bag unit) during
driving, it will lead to serious body
injuries by the inflation of the air bags
in the event of severe frontal collision.
3. The SAS air bags will not operate,
unless the ignition switch is turned
“OR”. Therefore, the SAS air bag will not
operate even if your vehicle head-on
collides with other vehicle or objects
while the ignition switch is turned
“LOCK” or “WCC”.
