C. General Warnings for Air Bag

Do not check the circuits with a circuit tester. Do not attempt to modify any air bag component 

including the steering wheel, air bag mountings and related wirings.

Do not subject any air bag component, such as the steering wheel, air bag mountings, wirings, to 

impacts. You might get severely injured by sudden deployment of the air bag.

As the air bag/seat belt pretensioner parts are very hot after being deployed. Allow them to cool 

down sufficiently before touching them.

The deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner cannot deploy again. It will work when an additional 

impact is applied. The components of the deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner are non-reusable 

parts. Therefore, remove or replace them as a unit.

The air bag and seat belt pretensioner systems contain explosive charges, so handle carefully when 

disposing or replacing them.

Incorrect inspection can result in serious injuries or malfunctions in the air bag and seat belt 

pretensioner system. 

The air bag warning lamp is illuminated for 3 to 7 sec. after the engine is started to check the system. 

Drive the vehicle after this warning lamp is turned off. If this warning lamp stays ON, the system may 

be defective. Have the air bag system checked immediately by Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong

As the air bag system is very hot after being deployed, allow at least 30 minutes for the system to cool 

down sufficiently before touching it. It can cause serious burns.

When an occupant fastens the seat belt in an unstable or inclined posture, the air bag system cannot 

protect the occupant properly. Moreover, the occupant can be injured by the air bag.

Children and infants should ride in a rear seat. Seating in the passenger's seat with carrying a child or 

infant is strictly prohibited. An infant or a child could be severely injured by air bag deployed.

A child restraint system must be placed in a rear seat.

A child restraint system must not be placed in the passenger's seat. An infant or a child could be 

severely injured by the air bag deployment.

Do not cover, place any object or affix any stickers on the air bag inflation location.

Do not cover the front seat. The side air bag will not work properly.

Never put your arms around the front seat from behind, lean on the front seatback, or put your arms 

out of the window. You can severely injured when the side air bag deploys.

Never lean on the door since it becomes very dangerous when the side air bag deploys.

Do not put any object such as an umbrella or bags between the door and side air bag mounting.

The side air bag deploys when there is a severe side collision.

Do not put any object such as an umbrella or bags between the door and side air bag mounting.

Do not slam the front door to close it. The side air bag may deploy unexpectedly.

Do not move your seat too close to the steering wheel or dashboard. Being too close to the steering 

wheel or instrument panel during the air bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death

Move back as far as practical to allow the air bag room to inflate when driving.

Do not incline toward the steering wheel or hold the steering wheel with your hands crossed. Never 

allow the front passenger to put hands or feet on the dash board. It can cause severe injures when 

the air bag inflates.

Never put your 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.

A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated when the air bag or seat belt pretensioner deploys. If 

these airborne particles irritate your skin, eyes, nose, or throat, rinse the area with cool water. If the 

irritation continues, see your doctor.

The windshield glass may be broken when the passenger air bag deploys.

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.

A loud noise and non-toxic smoke-like particles are generated when air bags deploy.

4. CAUTIONS FOR AIR BAG OPERATION

When there is any deployed air bag (including curtain air bag and seat belt pretensioner), the air 

bag unit should be replaced. Any DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) for the air bag unit should not 

be cleared since it has status data when the air bag deployed.

Note that the used components related to the air bag system, especially the air bag unit, should 

be packed in an air tight container to prevent any damage.

Do not connect a tester probe to the air bag connector or air bag body to measure the supply 

voltage or resistance. The detonator may explode due to a sudden extra power supplied by the 

tester.

Before removing or installing any air bag related components, disconnect the negative battery 

cable.

faulty.
