Air Bag Position
Frontal Air Bag
As shown in the Figure A above, the driver frontal air bag is
located in the middle of the steering wheel.
As shown in the Figure B above, the front passenger frontal
air bag is located in the passenger’s side instrument panel.
Side Air Bag*
As shown in the Figure C, the front seat side air bag is
installed on the backrest side near to the door.
Side Curtain Air Bag*
Warnings
If there is any other object between the occupant and
the air bag, the air bag may not be able to be inflated
normally or the air bag may cause the object to
squeeze the occupant’s body when it is inflated,
leading to severe injuries or even death. Please never
use a seat accessory (such as seat jacket) that may
hinder the inflating of the lateral-impact air bag.
When Shall the Air Bag Be Inflated?
The frontal air bag is designed to be inflated in moderate to
severe head-on collision or almost head-on collision to
reduce severe injury risks of the driver’s and the front
passenger’s head and chest.
Whether the frontal air bag is inflated do not mainly depends
on the vehicle running speed. It depends on the impacted
object, impact direction and vehicle deceleration within unit
time during collision.
The frontal air bag may be inflated in different collision
speed. The air bag inflation depends on the impact direction
(straight or in certain angle) at the moment of collision and
whether the impacted object is fixed or movable, deformable
or not and narrow or wide. Due to different design of each
vehicle, the collision inflation conditions of the frontal air bag
may vary. The frontal air bag will not be inflated in case of
vehicle overturn, rear-end collisions and most lateral-impact
collisions. The frontal air bag may not be inflated in slight
head-on or nearly head-on collisions, lateral or diagonal
collisions, collisions to cylindrical objects (such as telegraph
pole and tree trunk), rear-end collisions under large vehicle
(trucks, etc.) breast board and lateral glancing collisions. As
per the design, the seat lateral-impact air bag and the side
curtain air bag will be inflated according to the impact
position in case of the moderate to severe lateral collisions.
