THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING  YOUR VEHICLE
The  Driver  and  Passen  ger  Airb ag/In flator  Units   are
located  in the center  of the steering  wheel  and the right
side  of the instru ment  panel.  When  the  ORC detects  a
collision  requ iring  the  airbags,   it  signals  the  inflator
units.  A large  quantity  of nontoxic   gas is generated   to
inflate  the front airbags.  Different  airbag  inflation  rates
are possible,   based  on collision  severity  and  occupant
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.

collisions.  When  the Occupant  Restraint   Control  Mod -
ule  (ORC)  detects   a  collision  requ iring  the  wind ow
bags to  inflate, it  signals the  inflators  on the  crash  side
of  the  vehicle  both   sides  of  the  vehicle  if  equ ipped
with  rollover   sensing.  A  quantity   of  nontoxic  gas   is
generated   to  inflate   the  wind ow   bag.  The  inflating
wind ow  bag pushes  the  outsid e edge  of the  head liner
out  of  the  way  and   covers  the  wind ow.  The  airbag
inflates  in abou t 30 millisecond  s (abou t one-qu arter  of
the time  it takes  to blink  you r eyes) with  enou gh force
to injure  you if you  are not  belted and  seated  prop erly,
or  if   item s  are  positioned    in   the   area  where    the
wind ow  bag  inflates.  This  especially   applies   to chil-
dren.  The  wind ow  bag  is only  abou t 3  inches  (8 cm)
thick  when  it is  inflated .
The driver  front  airbag  gas  is vented  throu gh the  vent
holes  in  the  sides  of the  airbag.   The passenger    front
airbag  gas is vented  throu gh the  vent holes  in the sides
of the  airbag.  In this  way, the  airbags  do  not  interfere
with  you r control  of the  vehicle.
