Seats and Restraints
collision, to determine whether the airbags should be
deployed.
Operation of the airbag is not dependent on the speed
of the car, but on the type and size of object hit, angle
of impact and the rate at which the car changes speed as
a result of a collision. Deployment of the airbag is not
dependant on the amount of damage to the vehicle.
In the case of a severe frontal collision, both front airbags
will be deployed.
Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and occurs with
considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise. The
inflated bag, together with the seat belt restraint system,
limit the movement of a front seat occupant, thereby
reducing the risk of injury to the head and upper torso.
Note: When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is
released. This is not an indication of a malfunction,
however, the powder may cause irritation to the skin
and should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and
any cuts or abrasions of the skin.
After inflation,
airbags deflate immediately. This provides a gradual
cushioning effect for the occupant and also ensures
that the driver's forward vision is not obscured.
IMPORTANT
• Obstructions between an airbag and the occupant
may affect the correct deployment of the airbag.
Obstructions must not interfere with the airbag
inflation passages. Accessories must not be attached
to or obscure an airbag.
• Front seat passengers should not place feet, knees
or any other part of the body in contact with, or in
close proximity to, a front airbag.
• An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions and
other injuries if the occupant is too close to the
airbag at the time of its deployment.
