Deactivation switch
The System is active when ignition
switch is in the “ON” position or the
ignition mode is “ON”. Air bags are
designed to inflate in collisions when
required. In the event of a collision, the
collision sensors will detect signals, and
if the Airbag ECU judges that the signals
represent a severe collision, will trigger
the airbags. The inflated air bags provide
a cushion to the occupants. The air bag
inflates and deflates so quickly that you
may not even realize that it has
activated. The air bag will neither hinder
your view nor make it harder to exit the
vehicle.
Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous
and occurs with considerable force,
accompanied by loud noise and smoke,
which is normal. The inflated airbag,
together with seat belts, limit the
movement of an occupant, thereby
reducing the risk of injury.
When an airbag inflates, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The particles
are a normal by-product of the process
that generates the non-toxic gas used for
airbag inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irritation,
rinse the area with water. For nose or
throat irritation, move to fresh air. Also
sometimes the smoke can cause
breathing problems , in such cases get
fresh air promptly.
After inflation, airbag provides a gradual
cushioning effect for the occupant
thereafter deflates. It is not advisable to
drive your vehicle after the airbags have
been deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the airbags will not be
in place to protect you.
