1.3.1 General
Instructions
To allow the triggered SRS system to play a full
role in protection, before starting driving, the driver
and passengers should wear the seat belts
properly, adjust the seat and the steering wheel
properly, adjust the headrests properly and
restrain the child in the vehicle in a suitable child
seat.
Warning
Not wearing a seat belt properly or wrong
sitting position can cause serious injury or
even death during a crash.
•
Before starting driving, make sure you
and your passengers wear seat belts
properly and sit in correct position.
•
While driving, do not let other occupant
(child), pet or object occupy the space
between the front seat passenger and
the frontal airbag. Do not put anything
on or attach anything to the steering
wheel and instrument panel surfaces.
Caution
The airbags do not replace your seat belts.
Seat belt must be fastened all the time
during traveling.
Hint
When the airbags inflate, you may see what
looks like smoke. This is a normal
phenomenon. Do not worry about it.
Function of SRSs
When the vehicle has a serious collision with
barriers and the trigger condition is reached, the
airbag will quickly open an air pad filled with air, to
buffer impact force when occupants move forward
due to inertia and absorb impact energy, reducing
injury degree of occupants.
When the vehicle has a serious collision and the
trigger condition is reached, the airbag inflates at
a high speed shortly. Therefore, the driver shall
keep an appropriate sitting position, the front
driver passenger and frontal airbag should be kept
at a further distance to protect them effectively
and avoid a severe injury when airbag activated
and inflated.
If the vehicle had a serious collision, occupants
unfastened seat belt may be thrown away to
airbag inflation area, the inflating airbag may
cause serious injuries and deaths of occupants,
especially the children.
