If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean
something is wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any or all of the following may
occur:
• The air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the
occupants as the air bags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to friction
rope burns or those you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with chemicals. They are not permanent and normally
heal quickly. However, if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if
you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately.
• As the air bags deflate, 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 air
bag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat.
If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water. For nose or throat
irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer’s instructions
for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another
collision. Have the air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer immediately. Also, have the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller System serviced as well.
NOTE:
• Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
