How the system works
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors
will detect rapid deceleration and send a
signal to the controller. If the controller
judges that the deceleration represents a
severe frontal crash, the controller will
trigger the inflators. The inflators inflate
the appropriate air bags with nitrogen or
argon gas. The inflated air bags provide
a cushion for your head and upper body.
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.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag. Also,
upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and
some powder and smoke will be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the car. Be aware,
however, that some air bag components
may be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steer ing wheel or dashboard. Front
occupants should not lean on or sleep
against the door. Please refer to the “Seat
Adjustment” section and the “Seat Belts
and Child Restraint Systems” section in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section for details
on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
