Side Airbags and Children's Safety
Chapter 4 · Manual page 185
Children should not be allowed in areas where airbags may deploy, or there is a risk of serious injury.
Only recommended child restraints suitable for the age, height and weight of the child should be used and firmly fixed in the vehicle.
Do not place any items in areas where side airbags may deploy, or there is a risk of serious injury. In the event of a side collision, the side airbags can provide better protection for the passenger. However, when the airbag is triggered, a very strong expansion force is generated. If the passenger’s seating position is not correct, the airbags or items in the side airbag deployment area may cause injury. Therefore, only the correct child restraint should be used to secure the child correctly in the seat and the child’s seating position must be correct, ensuring that there is enough space between the child and the side airbag deployment region for the airbag to deploy without any hindrance, and thus provide the best protection.
