Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What will you see after an air bag inflates?
After the air bag inflates, it quickly deflates. This occurs so quickly that
some people
may not even realize the air bag inflated. Some components of
the air bag module in the steering wheel hub will be hot for a short time, but
the part of the bag that comes into contact with
you will not be hot to the
touch. There will be some smoke coming from vents in the deflated air bag.
Air bag inflation will not prevent the driver from seeing or from being able
to steer the vehicle, nor will
it stop people from leaving the vehicle.
A CAUTION:
When an air bag 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 can’t get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates,
then get fresh
air by opening a window or door.
The air bag is designed to inflate only once. After it inflates, you’ll
need some new parts for your air bag system. If you don’t get them, the
air bag system won’t be there
to help protect you in another crash. A
new system will include the air bag module and possibly other parts.
The service manual for your vehicle covers the need to replace other
parts
.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module, which records
information about the air bag system. The module records information
about the readiness of the system, when the sensors are activated and
driver’s safety belt usage at deployment.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag system. Improper
service can mean that your air bag system won’t work properly. See
your dealer
for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover of the driver’s facial air bag, it may not
work properly. You may have to replace the air bag module.
Do
not open or break the air bag cover.

larger child passenger.
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle’s
safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to
a window so the child can
wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint
a shoulder belt can
provide.
