If a collision occurs, the sensors sense the
severity of the impact and activate the air bags if

km / h) will not inflate the air bag.
When the sensors activate the system , the air
bags inflate rap idly, filling with non-toxic gas
mixtu re in a fraction of a second . Immediately
after inflation, the air bags deflate by releasing
the gas mixtu re throu gh vent holes. The whole
process takes place in a matter of second s.
RWARN ING
Air bag system components get hot after
inflation . Do not tou ch them after
inflation .
