Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What wiil you see after an air bag inflates?
After an air hag inflates, it quickly deflates, so quickly
,that some people may not even realize the air b-ag
inflated. S'orne components of the air bag mo'dule in the
steering
wheel hub will be hot fd a short time. The parts
of the bag that come.into contact with you may be
warm, but not, too. hot to. t.ouch. Thew wi11 be some
-smoke and,dust-coming from vents in the-deflatd air
bag. Air bag inflation doesn't prevent the driver from
s.eeing
orfrbom beilzg able to steerthe vehicle, nor does it
stoppeople
from le-aving .the vehicle.
I
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.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver's air bag,
the bag may not work properly. You may have: to
rep1ac.e the air bag module. Do not open or break
'the -air bag cover.
