in another type of collision are similar to those of
a higher severity side impact. They are designed
to inflate on the side where the vehicle is
impacted. They may not inflate in certain side
collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper side air bag and curtain air
bag operation.
When the side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate, a fairly loud noise may be heard, followed
by release of smoke. This smoke is not harmful
and does not indicate a fire. Care should be
taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irritation
and choking. Those with a history of a breathing
condition should get fresh air promptly.
Front side air bags, along with the use of seat
belts, help to cushion the impact force on the
chest and pelvis of the front occupants. Curtain
air bags help to cushion the impact force to the
head of occupants in the front and rear outboard
seating positions. They can help save lives and
reduce serious injuries. However, an inflating
side air bags and curtain air bags may cause
abrasions or other injuries. Side air bags and
curtain air bags do not provide restraint to the
lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn and the
driver and passenger seated upright as far as
practical away from the side air bags. Rear seat
passengers should be seated as far away aspractical from the door finishers and side roof
rails. The side air bags and curtain air bags
inflate quickly in order to help protect the out-of-
position occupants. Because of this, the force of
the side air bags and curtain air bags inflating
can increase the risk of injury if the occupant is
too close to, or is against, these air bag modules
during inflation. The side air bags and curtain air
bags will deflate quickly after the collision is
over.
The side air bags and curtain air bags operate
only when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
After pushing the ignition switch to the ON
position, the supplemental air bag warning
light illuminates. The air bag warning light
will turn off after about 7 seconds if the
systems are operational.
WARNING
.
Do not place any objects near the
seatback of the front seats. Also, do
not place any objects (an umbrella,
bag, etc.) between the front door
finisher and the front seat. Such
objects may become dangerous
projectiles and cause injury if a side
air bag inflates.
. Right after inflation, several side air bagandcurtainairbagsystem
components will be hot. Do not
touch them; you may severely burn
yourself.
. No unauthorized changes should be
made to any components or wiring
of the side air bags and curtain air
bags. This is to prevent accidental
inflation of the side air bags and
curtain air bags or damage to the
side air bag and curtain air bag
systems.
. Do not make unauthorized changes
to your vehicle’s electrical system,
suspension system or side panel.
This could affect proper operation
of the side air bag and curtain air
bag systems.
. Tampering with the supplemental
air bag system may result in serious
personal injury. For example, do not
change the front seat by placing
material near the seatback or by
installing additional trim material,
such as seat covers, around the side
air bags.
. Work around and on the side air bag
and curtain air bag systems should
