Safety features of your vehicle
Air bag - supplemental restraint system
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include
facial abrasions, bruises and bro
-
ken bones because the inflation
speed also causes the air bags to
expand with a great deal of force.
䳜
There are even circumstances
under which contact with the
steering wheel air bag can cause
fatal injuries, especially if the
occupant is positioned excessively
close to the steering wheel.
WARNING
䳜 To avoid severe personal injury or
death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possible
(at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away). The front passengers
should always move their seats as
far back as possible and sit back in
their seat.
䳜 Air bags inflate instantly in the
event of a collision, and passen
-
gers may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
a proper position.
䳜 Air bag inflation may cause inju
-
ries including facial or bodily abra
-
sions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.
Noise and smoke
When the air bags inflate, they
make a loud noise and they leave
smoke and powder in the air inside
of the vehicle. This is normal and is a
result of the ignition of the air bag
inflator. After the air bag inflates,
you may feel substantial discomfort
in breathing due to the contact of
your chest with both the seat belt
and the air bag, as well as from
breathing the smoke and powder.
Open your doors and/or windows as
soon as possible after impact in
order to reduce discomfort and pre
-
vent prolonged exposure to the
smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and powder are
non-toxic, they may cause irrita
-
tion to the skin (eyes, nose and
throat, etc). If this is the case, wash
and rinse with cold water immedi
-
ately and consult a doctor if the
symptom persists.
WARNING
When the air bags deploy, the air
bag related parts in the steering
wheel and/or instrument panel and/
or in both sides of the roof rails
above the front and rear doors are
very hot. To prevent injury, do not
touch the air bag storage area䳓s
internal components immediately
after an air bag has inflated.
