In a severe frontal impact, sensors detect
deceleration and the system triggers the
airbag inflators. Then a chemical reaction
in the inflators momentarily fills the air-
bags with non-toxic nitrogen gas to help
restrain the forward motion of the occu-
pants.
When the airbags inflate, they produce a
fairly loud noise and release some smoke
along with the nitrogen gas. This is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire. Be
sure to wash off any residue as soon as
possible to prevent minor skin irritation.
Deployment of the airbags happen in a
fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is designed to reduce serious inju-
ries, it may also cause minor burns or
abrasions and swellings.
Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, dashboard) may be hot for
several minutes, but the airbags them-
selves w ill not be hot. The airbags are de-
signed to inflate only once.
A crash severe enough to inflate the air-
bags may break the windshield as the ve-
hicle buckles. In vehicles with a passen-
ger airbag the windshield may also be
damaged by absorbing some of the force
of the inflating airbag.
CAUTION!

The SRS airbag system is de-
signed only as a supplement to the
primary protection of the seat belt
systems of the driver and front
passenger. The front seat occu-
pants are particularly susceptible
to injury if they do not wear their
seat belts; when sudden braking or
a collision occurs, they may be
thrown forward. To obtain further
protection in an accident, the driv-
er and all passengers in the vehicle
should always wear their seat belts
when driving. For instructions and
precautions concerning the seat
belt systems, see Seat beltsº in
this chapter.

A baby or small child who is too
small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured in a rear seat us-
ing a child restraint system.

Do not use a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the front seat be-
cause the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the passenger airbag can
cause severe injury to the child.
Vehicles with a passenger airbag
display a caution label on the pas-
senger side instrument panel as
shown above to remind you not to
install a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front seat.

If you remove the anchor brackets when
the child restraint system is necessary no
longer, replace the bolts in the holes to
prevent entry of exhaust emissions, water
or dirt.
Liftback (left seat)ÐOn the luggage
compartment wall
a. Using the illustration as a guide, re-
move the cap of the anchor.
b. Insert a 15 mm (0.6 in.) spacer and
tighten down the anchor bracket for your
child restraint system with a bolt. Torque
the bolt to 16.5Ð24.7 N Vm (1.68Ð2.52
kgf Vm, 12.2Ð18.2 ft Vlbf)
To comply with Canada Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards, vehicles sold in Cana-
da are provided with a bracket set in the
glovebox.
(C) INSTALLATION ON FRONT SEAT
Do not use a child restraint system which
requires use of a top strap in the front
seat. A child restraint system which re-
quires use of a top strap should only be
installed in the rear seat.
CAUTION!

Do not use a rear-facing child re-
straint system in the front seat be-
cause the force of the rapid infla-
tion of the passenger airbag can
cause severe injury to the child.
Vehicles with a passenger airbag
display a caution label on the pas-
senger side instrument panel as
shown above to remind you not to
install a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front seat.

not insert a standard 12 cm (5 in.) disc un-
til DISCº disappears from the display.
NOTICE
