Depending on the vehicle configuration, the
system includes the following air bags:
• Driver frontal air bag
• Front passenger frontal air bag. (If
equipped)
• Front side air bag. (If equipped)
• Side curtain air bag (if equipped)
For all air bags, the letter “AIRBAG” is marked
on the trim panel or the label near to its
deployment opening. For frontal air bags, the
letter “AIRBAG” for the driver is located in
the middle of the steering wheel, and that for
the front passenger is located on the
instrument panel. For lateral-impact air bags,
the letter “AIRBAG” is located on the
backrest side, near to the door. The letter
“AIRBAG” for side curtain air bags is located
on the roof lining trim panel.
The air bag can supplement protection on the
basis of correcting wearing the seat belt.
Although nowadays the air bags are designed
to reduce the injury risks caused by the impact
force when the air bag is inflated, all air bags
must be inflated rapidly to exert its effect.

SEATS AND PROTECTIVE DEVICES
Even if an air bag is equipped, you may
also be injured seriously or lose your life
in a collision accident if you do no use the
seat belt. The air bag is designed to be
used along with the seat belt but not to
replace the seat belt.
Warning
If an occupant sits next to or get too close
to the air bag, he/she may be injured
seriously or lose life due to inflating of the
air bag. Therefore, never sit too close to
the air bag.
Warning
On the instrument panel, there is an air bag
indicator which displays the air bag shape
symbol. The system will check whether the air
bag circuit system has a fault and give
corresponding prompt through the indicator.
Refer to the Chapter “Instruments and
Controls” for detailed information.
Air Bag Indicator
It is forbidden to let a child, infant,
pregnant woman and the sick and weak
sit on the front seat equipped with air
bag. Never install a backward-facing child
seat on the front seat for the child may be
injured seriously or lose life when the air
bag is inflated. The seat belt and air bag
can protect adults and adolescents but
not children and infants. Children and
infants need special child protection
devices (such as child seat) to get
corresponding protection.

air bag may cause the object to squeeze
the occupant’s body when it is inflated,
leading to severe injuries or even death.
