In a severe frontal or side collision the airbags inflate and work with the seat belts to protect occupants. They spread the impact over the upper body so it slows down more gently. Once an airbag deploys, the doors unlock automatically and the hazard lights come on.

| Driver and front passenger | Head and chest in a severe frontal collision. |
| Driver knee | Driver's legs in a frontal impact of more than moderate force. |
| Front side | Torso of front occupants in a severe side collision. |
| Rear side | Torso of rear outer occupants in a severe side collision (if equipped on petrol models). |
| Curtain | Mainly the heads of outer-seat occupants in a severe side collision. |
| Front middle | Mainly the heads of the driver and front passenger in a severe side collision. |
Note:If the car has a front passenger airbag switch and it is set to off, the front passenger airbag won't deploy.Super Hybrid (SHS-P) only
Airbags are not a substitute for seat belts
Airbags only deploy when a crash is severe enough, and in some crashes the seat belt is the only protection. Everyone must wear their belt correctly. Airbags and seat belts are designed for adults – not babies or young children.
Warning:Airbags inflate with great force. Sit upright, wear your belt correctly and set your seat so you're not too close to the airbag – never sit on the edge of the seat or lean forward. Keep your arms away from the side of the car so side and curtain airbags can't injure them.
Airbag (SRS) fault indicator
If the red airbag indicator stays on, the system has a fault. Have it checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre as soon as possible.
