Seats & Restraints
When airbags are deployed, children without
proper protection may suffer from serious
injury or even death. DO NOT carry children
in the arms or on the knees during traveling.
Children should wear seat belts suitable to
age. DO NOT lean out of windows.
An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions
and other injuries if the occupant is too close
to the airbag at the time of its deployment.
DO NOT affix or place any objects on, or
adjacent to the airbags. This may affect the
airbag passage or create projectiles that may
cause injury or serious harm in the event of
airbag deployment.
After deployment the airbag components
become very hot. DO NOT touch any airbag
related components, it may cause burns or
serious injury.
DO NOT knock or strike the position where
airbags or related parts are located, so as
to avoid accidental airbag deployment which
may cause serious injury or even death.
In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit monitors
the rate of deceleration or acceleration induced by the
collision, to determine whether the airbags should be
deployed.
Airbag deployment is virtually instantaneous
and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a
loud noise.
Provided the front seat occupants are correctly seated and
with seat belts properly worn, the airbags will provide
additional protection to the chest and facial areas in the
event of the car receiving a severe frontal impact.
Side airbags and side head impact protection airbags are
designed to offer additional protection to the side of the
body facing the impact, if a severe side collision occurs.
