Safety features of your vehicle
Noise and smoke
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 igni-
tion  of the  air bag  inflator.  After the  air
bag inflates, you may feel substantial dis-
comfort in breathing due to the contact of
your chest with both the seat belt and the
air  bag,  as well  as  from  breathing  the
smoke  and  powder. Open  your  doors
and/or windows  as  soon as  possible
after  impact  in  order  to  reduce  dis-
comfort and prevent  prolonged expo-
sure to the smoke and powder.
Though the smoke and  powder are non-
toxic, they may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat,  etc). If this is the
case,  wash  and  rinse  with  cold  water
immediately and  consult  a doctor  if the
symptom persists.
WARNING
Extreme  Hazard!  Do   not  use  a
rearward facing child restraint on
a seat  protected by an  air bag in
front of it!
Never put  a child restraint  in the
front passenger’s seat. If the front
passenger air  bag inflates, it can
cause serious or fatal injuries.
•  When  children are  seated in  the
rear  outboard seats  of a  vehicle
equipped with side and/or curtain
air  bags,  be  sure  to  install  the
child restraint system as far away
from  the  door side  as  possible,
1JBH3051
Do not  install a child  restraint on  the
front passenger’s seat.
Never place  a rear-facing  child restraint
in  the front  passenger’s  seat. If  the  air
bag deploys, it would impact the rear-fac-
ing  child   restraint,  causing  serious   or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing child
restraints  in  the front  passenger’s  seat
either.  If  the   front  passenger   air  bag
inflates,  it  could cause  serious  or  fatal
injuries to the child.
and
securely    lock    the   child
restraint system in position.
Inflation of side and/or curtain air
bags could  cause  serious injury
or death to an infant or child.
WARNING
When  the air  bags  deploy,  the air
bag  related  parts   in  the  steering
wheel   and/or    instrument    panel
and/or in both sides of the roof rails
above the front and  rear doors and
in the front seatbacks  are very hot.
To prevent  injury, do not touch  the
air bag storage area’s internal com-
ponents  immediately   after  an  air
bag has inflated.
