Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
DEPLOYMENT EFFECTS
WARNING: The powder release by air
bag deployment could cause short-
term breathing difficulties for persons
suffering from asthma or other respiratory
conditions. To prevent breathing difficulties,
leave the vehicle as soon as possible or
open a window.
WARNING: Inflation and deflation of
the air bags take place
instantaneously and will not provide
protection against the effects of secondary
impacts that can occur during multiple
vehicle collisions.
WARNING: After an air bag has been
triggered, air bag parts are hot, do not
touch them. Have the air bags replaced at a
Fisker Automotive Retailer.
If the air bags are deployed, a bang will be
heard and a small amount of fine powder
may be released. The noise will not damage
your hearing and the powder does not
constitute a health hazard nor does it imply
that a fire has broken out.
The SRS warning indicator will illuminate to
indicate that the system has been
deployed.
Air bag deployment slows down and
restricts the movement of the vehicle
occupant reducing the load on the body.
The air bags are in a depressurized state
following an accident.
Safety features
Along with the deployment of the air bags,
the following events will also occur to assist
you and any recovery personnel:
• the doors will unlock.
• the hazard warning lights will switch on.
• the interior lighting will switch on.
• the fuel supply to the engine will be
switched off.
• the high voltage supply will be isolated.
The high voltage supply and the fuel supply
to the engine can be restored by first turning
the vehicle OFF and then putting the vehicle
into Accessory mode.
OBSTRUCTION OF AIR BAGS
WARNING: Do not allow passengers
to obstruct the operation of the air
bags by placing parts of their body, or any
other objects in contact with, or in close
proximity to, an air bag module.
WARNING: Do not attach or position
items on an air bag cover which could
interfere with the inflation of the air bag or
be propelled inside the vehicle and injure
occupants.
PASSENGER AIR BAG
DEACTIVATION
WARNING: Your vehicle is fitted with
an air bag system that has no
provision for switching off or deactivating
the front passenger air bag.
