The windshield or windows can be broken due to impact from driver or passenger air bag
inflation.
When any repairs are needed to the air bag mounting area or its surrounding area, or when an
accident has occurred without the air bag deployment, have the air bag system/seat belt
pretensioner checked for safety.
The air bag is a unit to save an occupant's life from sudden accident and it inflates at a very fast
speed by gas with high temperature, which might cause injury, such as an abrasion, bruise and
burn depending on the accident conditions.
Normal inflation of the air bag could make a loud noise and smoke (non-toxic gas).
A minor collision, which occupants can be protected only by seat belts, will not activate the air bag
system. It is because that air bag inflation at a minor collision could cause more injury such as an
abrasion, bruise and burn.
Check the air bag system even though there is no fault in the air bag system when 10 years have
passed after air bag installation. -
