If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate immedi-
ately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all
collisions. 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 abra-
sions and/or skin reddening to the occupants as
the air bags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or those you might
get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium f loor.
They are not caused by contact with chemicals.
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 irritation, move to
fresh air. If the irritation continues, see your doctor.
If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the
garment manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have
deployed. If you are involved in another collision,
the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
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 autho-
rized dealer immediately. Also, have the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller System serviced as
well.
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 immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication
network remains intact, and the power remains in-
tact, depending on the nature of the event, the
ORC will determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the following
functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine (If Equipped)
• Cut off battery power to the electric motor (If
Equipped)
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has
power
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long
as the battery has power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident Response
System.
• Unlock the power door locks.
Your vehicle may also be designed to perform any
of these other functions in response to the En-
hanced Accident Response System:
• Turn off the Fuel Filter Heater, Turn off the HVAC
Blower Motor, Close the HVAC Circulation Door
