SAFETY INFORMATION
Airbag Operation
Your Morgan is fitted with a passenger airbag (within the dashboard) and a driver
airbag (within the steering wheel). The airbags are designed to deploy during
moderate to severe frontal impact / vehicle crash. The airbags inflate within
thousandths of a second to provide protection to the occupant(s) and deflate on
contact with the occupant(s), enabling the driver to maintain forward visibility and
the ability to manoeuvre or operate other controls. The airbags are not designed
to deploy during a minor frontal crash, rear crash, side crash or a vehicle rollover.
These airbags cannot be deactivated.
When the airbag inflates, there is a chemical reaction which quickly fills the
airbags with non-toxic gas. A fully inflated airbag, in combination with a properly
worn seat belt, slows the driver’s or the passenger’s forward motion, reducing
the risk of head and chest injury. Deployment of the airbags produce a loud noise
releasing a ‘white smoke’ and residue along with a non-toxic gas. This does not
indicate a fire. This smoke may remain inside the vehicle for some time, and may
cause some minor irritation to the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to wash off
any residue with soap and water as soon as possible to prevent any potential skin
irritation. Exit the vehicle as soon as possible after the accident.
WARNING NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
WARNING If deployed, airbags present a risk to children and persons of
short stature using seating aids. Therefore, such persons should not travel
in this vehicle.
WARNING The seat belts and airbags are a connected system. Without
seat belt usage, the airbags cannot provide adequate protection during an
accident. Vehicle occupants should always wear seat belts.
WARNING Do not place objects or equipment on or near the
dashboard or steering wheel that may come into contact with the
deployed airbags. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk
of serious personal injury in the event of airbag deployment during crash.
WARNING If the seat belt tongue is engaged in the seat belt buckle of the
passenger seat whilst the passenger seat is NOT occupied then the airbag
may be deployed unnecessarily.
WARNING Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the airbags
or associated components. Work to the airbag system should be only
completed by a Morgan engineer or Morgan service agent. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING Do not use sharp objects near where the airbags are fitted.
This could damage the airbags or cause accidental deployment. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING If the airbag has deployed, it will not function again. Ensure
that the system and associated components are inspected by a Morgan
engineer or Morgan service agent as soon as possible. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in serious personal injury or death.
The vehicle has an airbag
warning label located on the
sun visors. This warning label
is displayed in compliance
with regulations.
