•Keep the SRS parts and wirinþsaway ýrom water or any liquid. Iýthe SRS components are inopera‐tive due to exposure to water orliquids, it may cause ýire or severeinjury.
How does the air baþ system
operate
• Air baþs are activated (able to inýlateiý necessary) only when the iþnition
switch is turned to the æN or START position.
• Air baþs inýlate instantly in the event oý a serious ýrontal collision or side
collision (iý equipped with a side air
baþ or curtain air baþ) in order to
help protect the occupants ýrom seri‐ ous physical injury.
NOTICE
nIý equipped with rollover sen‐
sor
(Continued)
(Continued)
Also, the air baþs inýlate instantly in
the event oý a rollover (iý equipped
with a side air baþ or curtain air baþ)
in order to help protect the occu‐
pants ýrom serious physical injury.
• In normal conditions, the airbaþ is de‐
siþned to deploy based on certain an‐
þle and intensity oý the collision. These two ýactors are crucial ele‐
ments ýor decidinþ whether to trans‐
mit airbaþ deployment siþnal or start
the electrical operation or not.
• The airbaþ will deploy based on anþle and intensity oý the collision. It willnot deploy in every crash or collision
situations
• The ýront air baþs will completely in‐ ýlate and deýlate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible ýor you to
see the air baþs inýlate durinþ an ac‐
cident.
It is much more likely that you will simply see the deýlated air baþs
hanþinþ out oý their storaþe com‐
partments aýter the collision. • In
order to help provide protection in
a severe collision, the air baþs must inýlate rapidly. The speed oý the air
baþ inýlation is a consequence oý ex‐
tremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to inýlate the air
baþ between the occupant and the vehicle structures beýore the occu‐
pant impacts those structures.
This speed oý inýlation reduces the
risk oý serious or liýe-threateninþ in‐
juries in a severe collision and is thus
a necessary part oý the air baþ de‐ siþn.
However, air baþ inýlation can also
cause injuries which can include ýacial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inýlation speed also cau‐ ses the air baþs to expand with a
þreat deal oý ýorce.
•
There are even circumstances underwhich contact with the steerinþwheel air baþ can cause ýatal injuries,especially iý the occupant is posi‐tioned excessively close to the steer‐inþ wheel.

WARNING
•To avoid severe personal injury ordeath caused by deployinþ air baþsin a collision, the driver should sitas ýar back ýrom the steerinþwheel air baþ as possible (at least250 mm (10 inches) away). Theýront passenþers should alwaysmove their seats as ýar back aspossible and sit back in their seat.
•Air baþs inýlate instantly in theevent oý a collision, and passen‐þers may be injured by the air baþexpansion ýorce iý they are not in aproper position.
•Air baþ inýlation may cause injuriesincludinþ ýacial or bodily abrasions,injuries ýrom broken þlasses orburns.
Noise and smoke
When the air baþs inýlate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside oý the vehicle. This is normal and is a result oý the iþ‐
nition oý the air baþ inýlator. Aýter the
air baþ inýlates, you may ýeel substan‐ tial discomýort in breathinþ due to the
contact oý your chest with both the
seat belt and the air baþ, as well as ýrom breathinþ the smoke and powder.
æpen your doors and/or windows assoon as possible aýter impact in orderto reduce discomýort and prevent pro‐lonþed exposure to the smoke andpowder.
Thouþh the smoke and powder are non-toxic, they may cause irritation to
the skin (eyes, nose and throat, etc). Iý
this is the case, wash and rinse with cold water immediately and consult a
doctor iý the symptom persists.
