1-1. Safety Instructions CAUTIONS Precautions for Airbags 1 Observe the following precautions regarding the airbags. Otherwise, it may result in serious injury or even death. ● The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. Safety Instructions ● The airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. ● The impact force of the driver's airbag deployment is quite large. If the driver is too close to the airbag, it may cause serious personal injury or even death. ● When the driver's airbag is deployed, the first 0-100 mm deployment range is a high-risk area and at least 200 mm from the driver's airbag ensures safety.
This distance refers to the distance from the center of the steering wheel to the driver's sternum. If the distance after sitting is less than 200 mm, the following methods can be used to adjust the driving position: Move the seat back as far as possible, but only if you can easily depress the pedal. Tilt the seat back slightly. For most drivers, even if the driver's seat is moved to the front most position, the distance of 200 mm can be realized only by slightly tilting back the seat back. If it is difficult to see the road ahead after the seat back is tilted, a hard non-slip seat cushion can be placed on the seat to raise your body or the seat can be raised.
Adjust the steering wheel and tilt it downward as far as possible. This allows the airbag to face the driver's chest instead of the head and neck. When adjusting the driver's seat according to the above suggestions, keep the pedal and steering wheel within the control range of the driver, and and the dashboard control switch should also be kept within the driver's field of view. ● The airbag system can only provide one-time accident protection. If the airbag system is triggered, the system must be replaced. ● When disposing of the vehicle or components of the airbag system and pre-tensioned seat belts, the relevant safety regulations must be observed.
● Be sure to fasten your seat belt When driving vehicles equipped with airbags, you must fasten your seat belt. It is very dangerous to rely solely on airbag protection in an accident. Relying solely on airbags may not avoid serious injuries. Therefore, you must always fasten your seat belt. 33
