The device of the side airbag system
The side airbags for the driver and front passenger are deployed in the event of a severe side impact, deploying in the space between the crew members and the doors, helping to mitigate the impact of the chest.
The airbag system does not replace seat belts, so be sure to fasten your seat belts.
Deployment conditions for side airbags
The airbags are activated when the ignition key is in the «II». In a severe side impact, the sensor activates the side airbag system, deploying the airbags instantly between the crew members and the doors, helping to mitigate the impact from the chest. If the front passenger presence detection system detects the absence of a front passenger, the front passenger's side/airbag is deactivated.
Attention: Do not touch the components of the side airbag system immediately after deployment, as they are very hot and may cause burns.
Note:
- The airbags deploy instantly and can cause bruises, burns, etc.
- After deploying the pillows, they are instantly deflated.
- When the airbags deploy, white smoke is produced, which is not a fire and does not have a harmful effect on health.
- Airbags are not reusable, so contact a workshop after deployment.
