34 Safety
Are the smoke and fumes given off when the
airbag operates at all harmful?
Most people who have remained in a car
with little or no ventilation for several min-
utes complained only of minor irritation of
the throat and eyes. Avoid as much as pos-
sible getting dust on your skin as there is a
risk of skin irritation.
If you suffer from asthma, the incident may
bring on an attack, in which case you should
follow the normal procedure advised by
your doctor. It is advisable to consult a
doctor afterwards.
What should I do if the AIR-BAG warning
light comes on?
If the warning light is on, it means that a fault
has been detected in the system. The
airbag cannot be relied on to operate as
intended and it might even be activated
erroneously. You should therefore take the
car to an authorized Saab dealer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
When an airbag is inflated there is dust in
the air.
Because the dust/smoke can, in certain
cases, cause irritation to the skin, the fol-
lowing precautions should be taken:
• As soon as possible, wash any
exposed skin using a mild soap and
water.
• If there is irritation of the eyes, flush
them liberally with clean water for at
least 20 minutes.
• If this trouble persists, you should con-
sult a doctor.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of head injuries in the
event of a crash, the pillar trims and
header trims incorporate energy absorb-
ing material. These areas must not be
modified in any way. Work on these areas
must only be carried out at an authorized
Saab
dealer
