The air bag inflates within milliseconds dur-
ing a crash and forms a safety cushion for
the driver.
After the air bag completely inflates, it
immediately deflates so that
it
does not
interfere with the driver's visibility or ability
to steer and operate other controls.
The air bag inflates with considerable force
and speed. It is therefore important that the
driver's seat and seat back should be cor-
rectly adjusted, for the air bag to be fully
effective. The driver's seat should be ad-
justed so that the steering wheel can be
reached with the arms slightly angled.
When the air bag inflates, an operating noise
may be heard and a small amount
of
smoke-like gas will be released. The gas is
harmless and does not indicate that there
is a fire.
WARNING
The air bag system will not be trig-
gered in the event of
a
rear impact,
side impact, rollover or minor fron-
tal collision.
The seat-belts must
therefore always be worn. The air
bag system serves to supplement
the seat-belt.
Never affix anything to or over the
centre of the steering wheel,
as it
could cause injury when the air bag
is
triggered.
Do not perform any alterations to
the components of the air bag sys-
tem. The system can be triggered
abruptly if it is treated improperly.
The steering wheel and instrument
panel must only be removed by a
Daewoo Outlet or Daewoo Autho-
rised Service Operation.
The air bag can be triggered only
once. It must then be replaced only
by
a
Daewoo Outlet or Daewoo
Authorised Service Operation.
1-13
Repairs to the steering wheel,
steering column and air bag system
must be carried
out only by
a
Daewoo Outlet or Daewoo Autho-
rised Service Operation.
Injuries
may result if the air bag is triggered
inadvertently.
Do not stick anything on the steer-
ing wheel and instrument panel or
cover them with other materials.
Clean them only with
a
dry or
a
damp cloth. Do not use any aggres-
sive cleaning agents.
The air bag system must only be
disposed of by a Daewoo Outlet
or Daewoo Authorised Service
Operation.
Seat-belts
must always be worn
and
a
sufficient distance kept
between the driver and the wheel.
