Airbag Overview
Chapter 4 · Manual page 177
The airbag provides additional protection in a severe impact only. It does not replace the need, or requirement to wear a seat belt. Even when the vehicle is equipped with airbags, seat belts must still be worn properly, failure to do so may result in severe injury or even death in a collision.
The airbags together with lap-shoulder seat belts provide optimum protection for adults, but it is not the case for infants. The seat belt and airbag systems in the vehicle are not designed for protecting infants. The protection required by infants should be provided by child restraints.
The airbag system featured on the entire family of vehicles consists of:
- Two front airbags (fitted in the centre part of the steering wheel and the instrument panel above the glove box respectively)
- Two side airbags (fitted in the outer seatback cushion of the two front seats)
- Two side curtain airbags (fitted in the roof interior trim on both sides)
- One centre airbag (fitted in the inner seatback cushion of the driver seat) In the corresponding place where airbags are fitted, there is a warning sign stating “AIRBAG”.
