Upon deployment, tear seams mold-
ed directly into the pad covers will
separate under pressure from the
expansion of the air bags. Further
opening of the covers allows full
inflation of the air bags.
A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver or the front passen-
ger forward motion, reducing the risk
of head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibili-
ty and the ability to steer or operate
other controls.
To prevent objects from becom-
ing dangerous projectiles when
the passenger's air bag inflates:
•
Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder,
CD
holder, stickers, etc.) on the
front passenger’s panel above
the glove box where the pas-
senger’s air bag is located.
•
Do not install a container of
liquid air freshener near the
instrument cluster or on the
instrument panel surface.
