A fully inflated air bag, in combina-
tion with a properly worn seat belt,
slows the driver's or the passenger's
forward motion, reducing the risk of
head and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibility
and the ability to steer or operate
other controls.

WARNING
Do not install or place any
accessories (drink holder,
cassette holder, sticker, etc.)
on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a
vehicle with a passenger's air
bag. Such objects may become
dangerous projectiles and
cause injury if the passenger's
air bag inflates.

If an air bag deploys, there maybe a loud noise followed by a
fine dust released in the vehi-
cle. These conditions are nor-
mal and are not hazardous - the
air bags are packed in this fine
powder. The dust generated
during air bag deployment may
cause skin or eye irritation as
well as aggravate asthma for
some persons. Always wash all
exposed skin areas thoroughly
with lukewarm water and a mild
soap after an accident in which
the air bags were deployed.
