On the other hand, depending on the type
and location of impact, front air bags may
deploy in crashes with little vehicle
front-end damage but that produce a
severe initial deceleration.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle
deceleration over time, vehicle speed and
damage by themselves are not good
indicators of whether or not an air bag
should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all collisions, and also are
needed to help keep you in position, away
from an inflating air bag.
When the ORC detects a collision
requiring the front air bags, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the
front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and
the upper right side of the instrument
panel separate and fold out of the way as
the air bags inflate to their full size. The
front air bags fully inflate in less time
than it takes to blink your eyes. The front
air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and front
passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect
the knees of the driver and front
passenger, and position the front
occupants for improved interaction with
the front air bags.
Warning!
Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the knee
impact bolsters such as alarm lights,
stereos, citizen band radios, etc.
