The parts of the airbag that come into contact
w
i
th you may be warm, but not too hot to
touch. There may be some smoke and dust
coming from the vents in the deflated airbags.
Airbag inflation does not prevent people from
leaving the vehicle.
{ Warning
W
hen an airbag inflates, there may be dust
i
n the air. This dust could cause breathing
problems for people with ahistory of
asthma or other breathing trouble. To avoid
this, everyone in the vehicle should get
out as soon as it is safe to do so. If you
have breathing problems but cannot get
out of the vehicle after an airbag inflates,
then get fresh air by opening awindow
or adoor. If you experience breathing
problems following an airbag deployment,
you should seek medical attention.
The vehicle has afeature that may
automatically unlock the doors, turn on the
interior lamps and hazard warning flashers,
and shut off the fuel system after the airbags
inflate. The feature may also activate, without
airbag inflation, after an event that exceeds
apredetermined threshold. After turning the
vehicle off and then on again, the fuel system
wi
ll return to normal operation; the doors can
be locked, the interior lamps can be turned off,
and the hazard warning flashers can be turned
off using the controls for those features. If any
of these systems are damaged in the crash they
may not operate as normal.
{ Warning
A
crash severe enough to inflate the
ai
rbags may have also damaged important
functions in the vehicle, such as the fuel
system, brake and steering systems, etc.
Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable
after amoderate crash, there may be
concealed damage that could make it
difficult to safely operate the vehicle.
Use caution if you should attempt to restart
the engine after acrash has occurred.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate
the airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage
may also occur from the front outboard
passenger airbag.
•
Ai
rbags are designed to inflate only once.
After an airbag inflates, you will need
some new parts for the airbag system. If
you do not get them, the airbag system
will not be there to help protect you in
another crash. Anew system will include
airbag modules and possibly other parts.
The service manual for the vehicle covers
the need to replace other parts.
•
The vehicle has acrash sensing
and diagnostic module which records
information after acrash. See Vehicle Data
Recording and Privacy 3 417 and Event Data
Recorders 3418.
•
Let only qualified technicians work on
the airbag system. Improper service can
mean that an airbag system will not work
properly. See your dealer for service.
Passenger Sensing System
The vehicle has apassenger sensing system
for the front outboard passenger position. The
passenger airbag status indicator will light
on the overhead console when the vehicle
is started.
