2. OPERATING RANGE

In the event of the collision, the air bag will be deployed when the G value detected by the G 

sensor in the SDM is beyond the impact limit.

3. GENERAL WARNINGS

Do not diagnose the circuit with a circuit tester or attempt to modify any air bag components including 

the steering wheel, air bag mounting area and harness.

Incorrect inspection could cause a problem with an air bag and seat belt pretensioner, and they 

cannot protect occupants properly. Inspection and repair service should be done only by a qualified 

technician.

An infant or a child should not be seated on the front seat alone or on an adult's lap. An infant or a 

child could be severely injured by air bag deployed.

A child restraint system should be placed on the rear seat which has the 3-point type seat 

belt.

Never install a child restraint system on the front seat. Impact by the air bag inflation might cause 

severe injury or even death.

When an occupant fastens the seat belt with unstable or inclined posture, the air bag cannot protect 

the occupant properly. Moreover, the occupant may be injured by the air bag.

Do not incline toward the steering wheel while driving. If you hit the air bag before it is fully inflated, 

brain or neck injury, or even death can occur. 

Be careful not to strike the steering wheel, air bag mounting area, any air bag related component 

(including wiring) and seat belt pretensioner. You might get severely injured by sudden deployment of 

the air bag.

The air bag contains explosive materials, so handle it carefully when disposing or replacing it.

The air bag components will be very hot immediately after deployment. Do not touch them until they 

cool down.

Once the air bag/seat belt pretentioner is triggered, it will not deploy again even if an additional impact 

is applied to it. Once triggered air bag/seat belt pretensioner related components cannot be reused, 

so they should be removed from the vehicle and the whole system should be replaced with a new 

one.

Do not place any object or sticker on the air bag mounting area for correct and safe activation of the 

air bag.

Do not bang the door. Otherwise, an air bag might operate erroneously.

Hold the outer rim of the steering so that the air bag can inflate without any hindrance.

Do not incline toward the steering wheel or hold the steering wheel with your hands 

crossed. It will cause a problem with the air bag activation or severe injury when the air bag 

inflates.

Never put your hands or feet on the dash board. You can severely injured when the air bag 

inflates.

It is normal that a loud noise, dust and smoke occur when the air bag and seat belt pretensioner 

operate.

The gas come out of air bag/seat belt pretensioner activation is non-toxic nitrogen gas. However, if 

this gas occurs irritation to your skin, eyes, nose, and so on, wash it out with clean water. Seek 

medical help if symptoms develop.

02-6

The windshield or windows can be broken due to impact from driver or passenger air bag 

inflation.

When any repairs are needed to the air bag mounting area or its surrounding area, or when an 

accident has occurred without the air bag deployment, have the air bag system/seat belt 

pretensioner checked for safety.

The air bag is a unit to save an occupant's life from sudden accident and it inflates at a very fast 

speed by gas with high temperature, which might cause injury, such as an abrasion, bruise and 

burn depending on the accident conditions.

Normal inflation of the air bag could make a loud noise and smoke (non-toxic gas).

A minor collision, which occupants can be protected only by seat belts, will not activate the air bag 

system.  It is because that air bag inflation at a minor collision could cause more injury such as an 

abrasion, bruise and burn.

Check the air bag system even though there is no fault in the air bag system when 10 years have 

passed after air bag installation.
