Airbag SRS

An inflating airbag can
cause facial abrasions
and other injuries. Minimise the
risk of injury by ensuring that
front seat occupants are
wearing their seat belts and are
seated correctly, with the seat
as far back as is practical.
Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and occurs with
considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise. The inflated
bag, together with the seat belt restraint system, limit the
movement of a front seat occupant, thereby reducing the risk
of injury to the head and upper torso.
NOTE: After inflation, some
airbag components are hot - DO
NOT touch until they have cooled.
When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released. This is not
an indication of a malfunction, however, the powder may
cause irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly flushed
from the eyes and any cuts or abrasions of the skin. After
inflation, front and side airbags deflate immediately (side head
protection airbags deflate slowly). This provides a gradual
cushioning effect for the occupant and also ensures that the
driver’s forward vision is not impaired.
