If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate
immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in
a
ll colli
sions. This does not mean something
is wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the
air bags,
any or all of the following may
occur:
The air bag material may sometimes cause
abrasions and/or skin reddening to the
occupants as the air bags deploy and
unfold. The abrasions are similar to fric
-
tion rope burns or those you might get
sliding a
long a carpet or gymnasium floor.
They are not caused by contact with chem-
icals. They are not permanent and
normally
heal quickly. However, if you
haven’t healed significantly within a few
days, or if you have any blistering, see your
doctor immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see some
smoke-like particles. The particles are a
normal by-product of the process that
generates the non-toxic gas used for air
bag inflation. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If
you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the
area with cool water. For nose or throat irri
-
tation, move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues
, see your doctor. If these parti-
cles settle on your clothing, follow the
g
arment m
anufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags
have depl
oyed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
NOTE:
Air bag covers may not be obvious in the
interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer immedi-
ately.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt
retractor assemblies replaced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Also, have
the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
