Airbags
Airbag operating principle
The airbag is inflated in a matter of mil
liseconds. The airbag indicator light
comes on.
>Note!
If the airbags are activated, you will
hear a loud noise and some dust may be
generated. The explosion fundamentally
represents no risk to your hearing, and
the dust is harmless.
The inflated airbag slows down and re
duces the movement of the occupant. When
the occupant makes contact with the air
bag, hot gas flows out of the inflated
front airbags and side airbags. This re
duces the load on the occupant's head and
upper body. These airbags are conse
quently deflated after the accident.
 Do not lean on the doors from inside
the vehicle.
 Do not place any objects on the air
bags or between the airbags and the
vehicle's occupants.
 Do not hang any hard objects such as
coat hangers from the grab handles or
coat hooks.
In view of the unavoidably high infla
tion speed of the airbag, the possibil
ity of injuries when an airbag inflates
cannot be entirely ruled out.
