The passenger airbag may be turned on or off by inserting
the ignition key into the switch
below the dash on the passenger side, and turning it to the
appropriate position. When the passenger airbag
feature is turned off, the airbag will not deploy in the event of
an accident.
To turn the passenger airbag back on, insert the key and turn
it to the “on” position.
When infants in rear-facing child safety seats and children
who are unrestrained are placed in the front seat with an
airbag, they may be too close to an inflating airbag in the
event of a crash. An airbag will inflate at speeds up to 200
mph, which can hurt passengers who are too close to the
airbag. In addition, because of the child’s size, the airbag can
strike him/her on the head or neck, resulting in serious or
fatal injuries.
To ensure your child is as safe as possible in a vehicle, never
place him/her in front of an airbag. If your child rides in the
WHEEGO LiFe, move the seat as far back as possible, away
from the airbag, and turn the passenger airbag off. Infants
will only be safe in their rear-facing child safety seats if the
airbag has been switched off.
6. IMPACT SENSOR / BATTERY DISCONNECT
The LiFe is equipped with an Impact Sensor that disconnects all power from the lithium
battery pack in the event of an impact of 30G or greater, and/or airbag deployment. This
enables emergency responders arriving at an accident scene to work on victims without
worrying about the danger of shock (to either the victims or to themselves) from the
lithium battery pack. Emergency personnel should turn the ignition key off and take it out
to make sure the car is turned off. Only a Wheego authorized service technician should
reconnect the battery.
