Morgan SUPERSPORT - Airbag Operation

SAFETY INFORMATION
Airbag Operation
Your Morgan is tted 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 inate within
thousandths of a second to provide protection to the occupant(s) and deate 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 inates, there is a chemical reaction which quickly lls the
airbags with non-toxic gas. A fully inated 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 re. 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 o
any residue with soap and water as soon as possible to prevent any potential
skin irritation. Exit the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so after the accident.
DANGER 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.
DANGER 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.
DANGER Do not use sharp objects near where the airbags are tted.
This could damage the airbags or cause accidental deployment. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in serious personal injury or death.
DANGER 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.
DANGER It is recommended that seat occupants should adjust their
seats as far back as reasonably possible and always sit upright against the
seatbacks with seat belts worn properly. This reduces the risk of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of an airbag deploying.
DANGER Never put your feet on the dashboard and never attach
anything to the dashboard over or near areas around an airbag.
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.
