THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
•
When the airbag control module detects a collision
requ iring the airbags, it signals the inflator units. A
large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate
the airbags. Three levels of airbag inflation rates are
possible. These rates are determ ined by the airbag
control module based on collision severity. The airbag
covers separate and fold out of the way as the airbags
inflate to their full size. The airbags fully inflate in
abou t 60 millisecond s. This is only abou t half of the
time it takes you to blink you r eyes. The airbags then
quickly deflate while help ing to restrain the driver and
front passenger. The driver’s front airbag gas is vented
throu gh a vent hole in the rear of the airbag. The
passenger’s front airbag gas is vented throu gh vent
holes in the sides of the airbag. In this way the airbags
do not interfere with you r control of the vehicle.
If A Deploym ent Occurs
The airbag system is designed to deploy when the airbag
control module detects a moderate-to-severe collision, to
help restrain the driver and front passenger, and then to
immediately deflate.
NOTE: A collision that is not severe enou gh to need
airbag protection will not activate the system . This does
not mean som ething is wrong with the airbag system .
If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any
or all of the follow ing may occur:
•
The nylon airbag material may som etim es cause abra-
sions and / or skin red dening to the driver and right
front passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold . The
abrasions are similar to friction rop e burns or those
you might get sliding along a carp et or gym nasiu m
floor. They are not caused by contact with chem icals.
They are not perm anent and norm ally heal quickly.
However, if you haven’t healed significantly within a
few days, or if you have any blistering, see you r doctor
immediately.
•
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees and
position you for the best interaction with the front
airbag.
