If your vehicle encounters a severe frontal
collision, the SRS air bags will instantly inflate
to help protect your face, head and chest.
You may hear a deployment sound and see
white smoke or powder when the air bags
inflate.
This phenomenon, that is caused by the
inflation of the SRS air bags, is quite normal.
How air bag operates
w WARNING
• There are instances where the
occupants get injured, burned or
bruised due to the operation of the
air bag.
• If you get injured or blister, consult
with your doctor immediately.
• The gas which expand the air
bags contains a minute amount
of stimulant, but whose amount
is not harmful to a normal healthy
person. However, this stimulant
could be harmful to persons with
respiratory problems and allergic
diseases. Therefore, when the
air bags has deployed, open the
windows to introduce the fresh air
into the vehicle interior, or get out
of the vehicle, provided that the
safety is assured.
• Also, if you feel irritation on your
skin, eyes, nose or throat, rinse the
irritated area with cool water. Breath
the fresh air if your nose or throat
is irritated. Then, consult with your
doctor if the irritation continues.
The SRS air bags will deflate immediately
after the air bag has fully inflated to restore
the visibility and steerability.
NOTE
When you need to move the vehicle away
from the accident site after inflation of
the SRS air bags, tuck the deflated SRS
air bag into the steering wheel to ensure
easy handling.
