side of the instru ment panel. When the ORC detects a
collision requ iring the airbags, it signals the inflator 2
units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to
inflate the front airbags. Different airbag inflation rates
may be possible based on collision severity and occu-
pant size. The steering wheel hu b trim cover and the
upper right side of the instru ment panel separate and
fold out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size.
The bags fully inflate in abou t 50 - 70 millisecond s.
This is abou t half of the time it takes to blink you r eyes.
The bags then quickly deflate while help ing to restrain
the driver and front passenger. The driver’s front
airbag gas is vented throu gh vent holes in the sides 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 the is a fault present in the OCS, the Airbag Warning
Light (a red light located in the center of the instru ment
cluster directly in front of the driver) will be turned on.
This ind icates that you shou ld take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer. The Airbag Warning Light is turned on
whenever there is fault that can affect the operation of the
airbag system . If there is a fault present in the OCS, both
the PAD Ind icator Light and the Airbag Warning Light
are illuminated to show that the passenger airbag is
turned off until the fault is cleared . If an object is lodged
und er the seat and interferes with operation of the weight
sensors, a fault will occur which turns on both the PAD
Ind icator Light and the Airbag Warning Light. Once the
lodged object is rem oved , the fault will be autom atically
cleared after a short period of time.
