Safety Airbags Caution! Warning! ■ Do not touch the airbag or any interior parts around the airbag compartment after airbag deployment, as they might still be hot or covered with chemicals. Doing so can lead to burns or other injury. ■ Avoid extended exposure to smoke and dust released after airbag deployment. Failure to do so can cause skin and eye irritation. In case of irritation, flush your skin and eyes with cold water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. ■ The seat belts and airbags interact. All occupants must wear their seat belt correctly and maintain an upright seating position with their backs against the backrest.
Younger children should use an appropriate child safety seat. Failing to do so could result in death or serious injury to the car's occupants. ■ Do not install or place items on, or near the airbag panels and their deployment areas. Doing so might reduce the protection provided by the airbags, which could result in death or serious injury to the car's occupants. ■ Do not modify, disassemble, or install airbags and related components yourself. Improper installation of the components can cause malfunction and may reduce the protection provided by the airbags, which could result in death or serious injury to the car's occupants.
Contact a ZEEKR Hi-Tech Service Center or an approved service partner instead. ■ Do not drive with deployed airbags. Doing so will affect the car's steering and could cause an accident. If an airbag has been deployed, a trained professional must replace components of the airbag system. Contact a ZEEKR Hi-Tech Service Center or an approved service partner for assistance. ■ The airbag system's control module is located in the center console. If the center console is drenched with water or other liquid, disconnect the cables to the starter battery. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Contact a ZEEKR Hi-Tech Service Center or an approved service partner for assistance.
Overview Airbags are a supplemental safety system designed to deploy automatically and precisely when a collision is detected. The combination of airbags and seat belts offers the best possible protection to the car's occupants in case of a collision. The airbag system's control module detects and evaluates the severity of a collision, and then rapidly deploys the appropriate airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners. After deployment, it is normal for smoke and dust to get released into the car. Airbag deployment depends on the severity of the collision, impact angle, impact force, driving speed, and the type of object that the vehicle has collided with.
It is therefore possible that none, or only some of the airbags, are deployed in a collision. Severe structural damage does not determine whether an airbag should have deployed or not. 11
