The structure of the side airbag system
Side airbags for the driver and front passenger are activated in the event of a severe side impact, deploying in the space between the crew members and the doors, helping to soften the impact to the chest.
The airbag system is not a substitute for seat belts, so be sure to wear your seat belts.
Conditions for the deployment of side airbags
The airbags are activated when the ignition key is in the "II" position. In the event of a severe side impact, a sensor activates the side airbag system, the airbags instantly deploy between the crew members and the doors, helping to soften the impact on the chest. If the front passenger presence detection system detects that there is no front passenger, his/her side airbag is deactivated.
Caution: Do not touch the side airbag system components immediately after deployment, as they are very hot and may cause burns.
Note:
- Airbags deploy instantly and can cause bruises, burns, etc.
- Once the pillows are unfolded, they deflate instantly.
- When the airbags are deployed, white smoke appears, which is not a fire and does not have a harmful effect on health.
- Airbags are not reusable, so after deployment, contact a service station.
