Noise and smoke from inflating air 
bag
When the air bags inflate, they make a 
loud noise and may produce smoke and 
powder in the air inside of the vehicle. 
This is normal and is a result of the 
ignition of the air bag inflator. After the 
air bag inflates, you may feel substantial 
discomfort in breathing because of the 
contact of your chest with both the seat 
belt and the air bag, as well as from 
breathing the smoke and powder. The 
powder may aggravate asthma for some 
people. If you experience breathing 
problems after an air bag deployment, 
seek medical attention immediately.
Though the smoke and powder are 
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to 
the skin, eyes, nose, throat, etc. If this is 
the case, wash and rinse with cold water 
immediately and seek medical attention 
if the symptoms persist.
