Airbag Care

You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any airbag
system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle inspected by a dealer in
the following situations:
■ When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced. Similarly,
once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be replaced.
■ When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the following: the seat belt
tensioners for the front seats and outer rear seats, and each seat belt that was worn during
the crash.
The removal of airbag components from the vehicle is prohibited.
In case of malfunction, or shutdown, or after the airbag inflation/seat belt tensioner
operation, ask a qualified personnel for handling.
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag system components, including the airbag,
tensioners, sensors, and control unit.

Pop-up Hood System

About the Pop-up Hood System

The pop-up hood system is designed to help to reduce the possible head injuries of a
pedestrian if they experience a frontal impact with your vehicle.
After the pop-up hood is activated, the power unit components become
extremely hot and can cause burns. Do not touch the power unit components
until they have cooled.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to open the bonnet after the pop-up hood system has been activated. After
the system activation, make sure the raised bonnet does not interfere with visibility, and then
drive slowly and carefully.
If the bonnet is not fully closed, it may not work properly. Make sure the bonnet is fully
closed before driving.
