2013 SSANGYONG KORANDO instrument panel

2) Interior Layout
Sun load sensor
It is mounted to the upper left-
hand of the instrument panel and
detects the sun-load enters to the
interior through the windshield
with a photo diode. Incar sensor
It is mounted to the rear of the
heater and A/C control panel
(with FATC) and detects the
interior air temperature drawn
through the senor inlet.Air conditioner module
It is mounted to inside of the
instrument panel and has the
evaporator core, heater core,
PTC heater and corresponding
actuator and different sensors.
Heater & A/C control assembly
With FATC With MTC
It falls in to two categories; FATC (Full Automatic Temperature Control) and MTC (Manual Temperature
Control), which controls the air conditioning system's operation.

3. CAUTIONS FOR AIR BAG SYSTEM
Cautions for air bag maintenance
Whenever installing or removing the devices related to the air bag system, disconnect the negative
battery cable and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Do not connect a tester probe to the inflator to measure the resistance of the component of the air
bag system. The detonator of the inflator may explode due to a sudden extra power supplied by the
tester.
Note that the used components related to the air bag system, especially the air bag unit, should be
packed in an air tight container and prevent it from any impact or damage.
When there is any deployed air bag (including curtain air bag and seat belt pretensioner), the entire
system including the air bag unit should be replaced. The deployed air bag unit should not be reused
since it has status data when it is deployed, and the data cannot be cleared with a diagnostic device.
The air bag and seat belt pretensioner systems contain explosive charges, so handle carefully when
disposing or replacing them. 1.

Cautions for air bag maintenance
Do not modify, change or apply impact on any air bag component. The air bag may be deployed
abruptly, causing serious injuries.
Children and infants should ride in a rear seat. Seating in the passenger seat with carrying a
child or infant is strictly prohibited. An infant or a child could be severely injured by the air bag
deployment.
A child restraint system must not be installed on the front seat. An infant or a child could be severely
injured by the air bag deployment when it is fitted to the passenger seat.
Do not place any objects on the air bag inflation location. You may get injured by those objects during
deployment.
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.
The side air bag deploys when there is a severe side collision.
Do not slam the front door to close it. The side air bag may deploy unexpectedly.
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.
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
Hold only the outer rim of the steering so that the air bag can inflate without any hindrance.
Do not incline toward the steering wheel. Never allow the passenger to put hands or feet on the dash
board. The air bag cannot work properly Do not hold and operate the steering wheel by crossing your
arms You could get seriously injured when the air bag deploys. 1.

Driver air bag
The air bag is installed at the center of the
steering wheel. The inflator of this air bag is
ignited momentarily in the event of a collision
and deploys the air bag cushion.
Air bag unit (SDM)
The air bag unit is installed in
the front side of the front
console, and it monitors the
air bag system and
determines the air bag
deployment in the event of a
collision.Front impact sensor
The front impact sensors are fitted
at the bottom of both LH and RH
headlamp inside the front
bumper, and output signals that
activates the front air bag system.
Air bag warning lamp
This lamp notifies the driver about the result of the
diagnosis and faults.
Passenger air bag
This air bag is installed in the upper side
of the instrument panel on the
passenger side. It activates in the same
way of the driver air bag.
2. AIR BAG SYSTEM LAYOUT
Passenger Air Bag ON/OFF Switch
The front passenger air bag is disabled (not
inflatable) when placing the passenger air bag
switch is located on the right side of the
instrument panel, and you can see it when
opening the front passenger door. Press and
turn this switch to operate.

The air bag will be deployed when:
The air bag can be deployed when:
the impact or type of a frontal collision is too much for the seat belt to protect the occupant. -
a collision to diagonal direction (not a frontal collision) occurs or the vehicle tips over.
a minor collision which the air bag sensor cannot detect occurs (impact is lower than that of
operating condition).
a collision against narrow objects, such as a telegraph pole or a tree, occurs.
the vehicle goes into a drainage or a puddle.
the vehicle wedges under a truck or a trailer or collides with the underbody of a heavy-duty
vehicle.
the hood is hit by falling stones.
the air bag warning lamp is on. -
-
-
-
-
-
-the vehicle rolls over or tips over sideward, or a side/rear collision occurs.
the impact of the collision is low enough for the seat belt to protect the occupant properly. -
-
The air bag will be hardly deployed when:
2) Front Air Bag System Operating Process
(1) Front air bag system deployment conditions
there is underbody impact from the road surface, impact against the curb at a very high speed, or
dropping impact onto the road surface with a large angle. -
The air bag will not be deployed when:
(2) Front air bag system deployment
When a collision occurs the air bag unit receives the signal from the front impact sensor and ignites the
front air bag to deploy the driver and passenger air bags and seat belt pretensioner.
Item Impact to (front)
Driver air bag Ignite
Passenger air bag Ignite
Seat belt pretensioner - Driver side Ignite
Seat belt pretensioner - Passenger side Ignite
(3) Component change after deployment
Air bag unit and its wirings (including connectors), seat belt pretensioner and its wirings (including
connectors), all front air bags, instrument panel, front impact sensor and other damaged components
