monitors
the
readiness
of the
electronic
parts
of the
system
whenever
the
ignition
switch
is
in
the
“ON”
or
“ST

position.
These
include
all
of
the
items listed above and all related wiring. The
airbags
will
operate
only
when
the
igni-
tion
switch
is in the
“ON”
or
“ST

posi-
tion. When
the
impact
sensors
detect
a front
or
side
impact
suf
ficient
to deploy
the
airbag(s),
the appropriate airbag(s) will be deployed.
When
airbags
deploy
, some
smo
ke
is relea
sed
accompanied
by
a loud
noise.
The
smoke
is
not
harmful,
but
do
not
intentionally
inhale
the
smoke
as
it may
cause
temporary
irrita-
tion to people with respiratory problems.After
deployment,
the
airbags
will
quickly
deflate,
so
quickly
that
some
people
may
not
even
realize
the
airbags
inflated.
Airbag
inflation
does
not
prevent
the
driver
from
seeing
or being
able
to steer
the
