During a frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s deceleration. If the
rate of deceleration is high enough, the
control unit will inflate the front air bags,
at the time and with the force needed.
The front air bags help protect the driver
and front passenger by responding to
frontal impacts in which seat belts alone
cannot provide adequate restraint. When
needed, the side air bags help provide
protection in the event of a side impact.

[Air bags are activated (able to inflate
if necessary) only when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.

[Air bags inflate in the event of certain
frontal or side collisions to help
protect the occupants from serious
physical injury.

[Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a
collision and it’s direction etc. These
two factors determine whether
the sensors produce an electronic
deployment/inflation signal.

[The front air bags will completely
inflate and deflate in an instant. It is
virtually impossible for you to see the
air bags inflate during an accident. It is
much more likely that you will simply
see the deflated air bags hanging out
of their storage compartments after
the collision.
[To help provide protection, the air
bags must inflate rapidly. The speed
of air bag inflation is a consequence
of extremely short time in which
to inflate the air bag between the
occupant and the vehicle structures
before the occupant impacts those
structures. This speed of inflation
reduces the risk of serious or life-
threatening injuries and is thus a
necessary part of air bag design.
However, the rapid air bag inflation
can also cause injuries which can
include facial abrasions, bruises and
broken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.

[There are even circumstances under
which contact with the air bag can
cause fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the air bag.
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating air bag. The
greatest risk is sitting too close to the air
bag. An air bag needs space to inflate.
It is recommended that drivers sit as far
as possible between the centre of the
steering wheel and the chest whilst still
maintaining control of the vehicle.

Remote key precautions
The remote key will not work if any of
the following occurs:

[ The key is in the ignition switch.

[ You exceed the operating distance
limit (about 30 m [90 feet]).

[ The remote key battery is weak.

[ Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.

[ The weather is extremely cold.

[ The remote key is close to a radio
transmitter such as a radio station or

[Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuelling.
You can generate a build-up of
static electricity by touching,
rubbing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapours
causing a fire. If you must re-enter
the vehicle, you should once again
eliminate potentially dangerous
static electricity discharge by
touching a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck, nozzle
or other petrol source, with your bare
hand.

[When refuelling, always move the
shift lever to the N (Neutral, for

[When using an approved portable
fuel container, be sure to place
the container on the ground prior
to refuelling. Static electricity
discharge from the container can
ignite fuel vapours causing a fire.
Once refuelling has begun, contact
between your bare hand and the
vehicle should be maintained until
the filling is complete.

[Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry and
store petrol.
[Do not use matches or a lighter and
do not smoke or leave a lit cigarette
in your vehicle whilst at a gas station,
especially during refuelling.

[Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause petrol
spillage.

[If a fire breaks out during refuelling,
leave the vicinity of the vehicle, and
immediately contact the manager
of the gas station and then contact

safety instructions they provide.

[If pressurized fuel sprays out, it can
cover your clothes or skin and thus
subject you to the risk of fire and
burns. Always remove the fuel cap
carefully and slowly. If the cap is
venting fuel or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until the condition stops
before completely removing the cap.

[Always check that the fuel cap is
installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
