Airbags do not replace seat belts in any way and are one of the important elements of passive safety in a vehicle. It should be borne in mind that the greatest effectiveness of airbags is achieved only when used in conjunction with seat belts with force limiters.
In the event of a collision, electronic impact sensors record and instantly analyze the magnitude of the vehicle's sudden deceleration. If the airbags reach their deployment threshold during an impact, they are instantly ejected and filled with working gas and, inflating, deploy in front of the driver and passenger.
By supporting the driver and front passenger against fully inflated airbags, the forward momentum of their bodies is dampened, significantly reducing the risk of head and upper body injuries.
The air bag is designed in such a way that during a frontal impact, under the influence of the body load of the driver or the passenger sitting next to him, a controlled release of gas from the bag occurs to soften the impact of the head and upper body, while they are reduced in volume. This is intended to ensure that visibility and the ability to quickly exit the vehicle are not obstructed.
The airbag inflates at high speed in a matter of seconds, which ensures reliable protection in the event of an accident.
The appearance of a large amount of fine dust in the cabin when the airbags inflate is considered normal and should not be a cause for concern.
The airbags only work when the ignition is on.
Note: Gas escaping from the pillow may cause minor irritation.
Caution! The maximum protective effect of seat belts and airbags is achieved only when the seats are properly adjusted.
Attention! Sit in a natural upright position.
Caution: Do not place anything between people in the front seats and the airbags (animals, children or any objects). They may interfere with the operation of the airbags or injure people in the front seats.
Caution! Do not steer the vehicle by holding the steering wheel by the spokes or placing your hands on the steering wheel hub.

Attention! Passengers are prohibited from placing their feet on the dashboard.
Caution! Avoid smoking if possible, as inflating airbags can cause burns or injuries from cigarettes or pipes.
