How airbags protect you further

  • Airbags are designed to supplement seat belt system, but cannot replace it.
  • Seat belt is the most important restraining system. Always wear your seat belt.
  • Airbags can enhance passenger safety in case of accident. Airbags can cushion your head and upper body from striking the dashboard. However, airbags inflate very fast and with great force. If you are too close to an inflating airbag, you could be seriously hurt.
  • Seat belt can hold your entire body in your seat, and can reduce your chance of injury by the inflating airbag.
  • Seat belt offers the best and most effective protection in all types of collisions or roll-over accidents. Airbags only function in particular collisions.

How to get maximum protection

  • Remember to wear your seat belt properly.
  • Airbags need space for inflating. So, ensure there is a good distance between yourself/your passengers and the airbag outlet. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the airbag outlet.
  • Do not place any objects over the airbag outlet or in between the outlet and you to avoid being hurt by these objects when the airbag inflates.
  • Do not place young children in any front passenger seats installed with airbags when using rearward facing child restraint devices. Young children should be placed in the rear seats using approved restraining devices appropriate to their age and size.
