KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
NOISE AND SMOKE
WARNING - Hot Metal
Parts
When the air bags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the air bag inflator.
After the air bags inflate, you may feel
substantial discomfort in breathing due
both to the contact by your chest with
both the safety belt and the air bag, as
well as from breathing the smoke and
powder.
When the air bags deploy, the
air bag inflators in the steering
wheel and/or in the dashboard
are very hot. To prevent injury,
do not touch the air bag storage
area’s internal components
immediately after an air bag has
inflated.
We strongly urge you to open your
doors and/or windows as promptly as
possible after impact in order to
reduce discomfort and prevent
prolonged exposure to the smoke and
powder.
