Also, the ORC turns on the “Airbag Warning
Light” for six to eight seconds for a self-
check when the ignition is first turned ON.
After the self-check, the “Airbag Warning
Light” will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction
in any part of the system, it turns on the “Airbag
Warning Light” either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound if the light comes on again
after initial start up.
WARNING!
Ignoring the “Airbag Warning Light” in your instru-
ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to
protect you in a collision. If the light does not come
on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes
on as you drive, have the airbag system checked
immediately.

The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are
located in the center of the steering wheel and the left
side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a
collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator
units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to
inflate the front airbags. Different airbag inflation rates
are possible, based on collision severity. The steering
wheel hub trim cover and the upper left side of the
instrument panel separate and fold out of the way as
the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate
in about 50–70 milliseconds. This is about half of the
time it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly
deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front
passenger.
The driver front airbag gas is vented through the vent
holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front
airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides
of the airbag. In this way, the airbags do not interfere
with your control of the vehicle.
