What Will You See After an
Airbag Inflates?
After a frontal airbag inflates, it quickly deflates, so
quickly that some people may not even realize the airbag
inflated. Roof-mounted side impact airbags deflate more
slowly and may still be at least partially inflated minutes
after the vehicle comes to rest. Some components of
the airbag module — the steering wheel hub for the
driver’s airbag, the instrument panel for the right front
passenger’s airbag or the garnish trim and ceiling of your
vehicle near the side windows for roof–mounted side
impact airbags — may be hot for a short time. The parts
of the airbag that come into contact with you may be
warm, but not too hot to touch. There will be some smoke
and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags.
Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing
out of the windshield or being able to steer the vehicle,
nor does it stop people from leaving the vehicle.

CAUTION:
When an airbag inflates, there is dust in the
air. This dust could cause breathing problems
for people with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone in
the vehicle should get out as soon as it is safe
to do so. If you have breathing problems but
cannot get out of the vehicle after an airbag
inflates, then get fresh air by opening a
window or a door. If you experience breathing
problems following an airbag deployment,
you should seek medical attention.
Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on, turn the
hazard warning flashers on and turn off the climate
control system when the airbags inflate. You can lock
the doors again, turn the interior lamps off, turn the
hazard warning flashers off and turn the climate control
system on by using the controls for those features.
