When the impact sensors detect a sufficient front or side impact
to deploy the airbag(s), the appropriate airbag(s) will be
deployed.
When the airbag control unit detects rollover of the vehicle,
curtain airbags will be deployed.
When airbags deploy, some smoke is released accompanied by
a loud noise. The smoke is not harmful, but do not intentionally
inhale the smoke as it may cause temporary irritation to people
with respiratory problems.
An inflated airbag will deflate quickly, so you may not even
notice that the airbag was inflated.
Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing or
being able to steer the vehicle, and does not prevent people
from leaving the vehicle.
Event Data Recording
N00418600243
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or
near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how
a vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynam-
ics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
● How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
● Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
● How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,
● How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.
CAUTION
!
● Airbags inflate very quickly and with great force. In
certain situations, contact with an inflating airbag
may cause small cuts, abrasions, and bruises.
