The air bags will operate only when the ignition switch is in the
“ON” or “START” position.
When the impact sensors detect an impact of sufficient frontal
or side force, an automated circuit ignites materials in the infla-
tor to generate gas and inflate the air bags.
The deployment of the air bags produces a sudden, loud noise,
and releases some smoke and powder, but these conditions are
not injurious and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. People
with respiratory problems may feel some temporary irritation
from chemicals used to produce the deployment; open the win-
dows after air bag deployment, if safe to do so.
The air bags deflate very rapidly after deployment, so there is
little danger of obscured vision.
The time required from the sensors detecting an impact to
deflation of the air bags after deployment is shorter than a blink
of an eye.

CAUTION
!
●
Air bags inflate at an extremely rapid speed. In cer-
tain situations, contact with inflating air bags can
result in light cuts, bruises, and the like.
