Air Bag ( )
Using air bag together with seat belt can help reduce the risk of incurring serious injury during a bad crash accident.
The front row passenger should take the seated position shown at right side of above figure to get best protection.
Seat and seat back must be properly located to cooperate with the air bag for optimal protection effect. Use an upright seated position and

Serious frontal collision (façade or within 30ºat left and right) will detonate front air bag. Within 1ms after the collision occurs, the air bag
will inflate and swell; when touching body of the passenger, the air bag will immediately deflate to damp his/her forward movement. In case
of a mild collision, a rear collision or a side collision, the air bag will not be detonated.
Keep the clearance at
front area of air bag at any
moment and do not place anything
in or above this area.
When ignition switch is turned to the “II” position, the indicator light on dashboard will light and then go out after about 3~4 seconds, which
indicates that no failure exists in air bag system.
If the indicator light does not light or it keeps intermittently or continuously lighting during driving, this indicates a failure. For your safety,
please send your vehicle to a Chery Authorized Service Station for inspection.
The manufacturer of the air bag on this vehicle suggests that you should replace the air bag with a new one after ten year’s use, because then
efficiency of aerating agent and performance of the air bag have been deteriorated.
