• Page 40 - English - : uuAirbagsuAirbag System Components Safe Driving Airbags can pose serious hazards To do their job airbags must inflate with tremendous force So while airbags help save lives they can cause burns bruises and other minor injuries sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing their seat belts properly and sitting correctly What you should do Always wear your seat belt properly and sit upright and as far back from the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle A front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possible Remember however that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can occur in a severe crash even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags deploy Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap or driving with a pipe or other sharp object in your mouth can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers Objects on the covers marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate Important Facts About Your Airbags 1Important Facts About Your Airbags Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags Together airbags and seat belts provide the best protection When driving keep hands and arms out of the deployment path of the front airbag by holding each side of the steering wheel Do not cross an arm over the airbag cover

• Page 42 - English - : Continued uuAirbagsuFront Airbags SRS Safe Driving Front airbags are designed to inflate during moderatetosevere frontal collisions When the vehicle decelerates suddenly the sensors send information to the control unit which signals one or both front airbags to inflate A frontal collision can be either headon or angled between two vehicles or when a vehicle crashes into a stationary object such as a concrete wall While your seat belt restrains your torso the front airbag provides supplemental protection for your head and chest The front airbags deflate immediately so that they wont interfere with the drivers visibility or the ability to steer or operate other controls The total time for inflation and deflation is so fast that most occupants are not aware that the airbags deployed until they see them lying in front of them Operation How the Front Airbags Work 1How the Front Airbags Work Although the drivers and front passengers airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other it is possible for only one airbag to deploy This can happen if the severity of a collision is at the margin or threshold that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy In such cases the seat belt will provide sufficient protection and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal
• Page 43 - English - : uuAirbagsuFront Airbags SRS Safe Driving When front airbags should not deploy Minor frontal crashes Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and help save lives not to prevent minor scrapes or even broken bones that might occur during a less than moderatetosevere frontal crash Side impacts Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration causes a driver or front passenger to move towards the front of the vehicle Side airbags and side curtain airbags have been specifically designed to help reduce the severity of injuries that can occur during a moderatetosevere side impact which can cause the driver or passenger to move towards the side of the vehicle Rear impacts Head restraints and seat belts are your best protection during a rear impact Front airbags cannot provide any significant protection and are not designed to deploy in such collisions Rollovers Seat belts and in vehicles equipped with a rollover sensor side airbags and side curtain airbags offer the best protection in a rollover Because front airbags could provide little if any protection they are not designed to deploy during a rollover When front airbags deploy with little or no visible damage Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration a strong impact to the vehicle framework or suspension might cause one or more of the airbags to deploy Examples include running into a curb the edge of a hole or other low fixed object that causes a sudden deceleration in the vehicle chassis Since the impact is underneath the vehicle damage may not be readily apparent When front airbags may not deploy even though exterior damage appears severe Since crushable body parts absorb crash energy during an impact the amount of visible damage does not always indicate proper airbag operation In fact some collisions can result in severe damage but no airbag deployment because the airbags would not have been needed or would not have provided protection even if they had deployed
