What to expect after an air bag
inflates
■
Driver’s front air bag (3)
WARNING
To prevent objects from becom-
ing dangerous projectiles when
the passenger's air bag inflates:
After a frontal or side air bag inflates,
it will deflate very quickly. Air bag
inflation will not prevent the driver
from seeing out of the windshield or
being able to steer. Curtain air bags
may remain partially inflated for
some time after they deploy.
•
Do not install or place any
objects (drink holder, CD
holder, stickers, etc.) on the
front passenger's panel above
the glove box where the pas-
senger's air bag is located.

Passenger’s front air bag
WARNING
After an air bag inflates, take
the following precautions:
•
Do not install a container of
liquid air freshener near the
instrument cluster or on the
instrument panel surface.
• Open
your
windows
and
doors as soon as possible
after impact to reduce pro-
longed exposure to the smoke
and powder released by the
inflating air bag.

• Do not touch the air bag stor-
age area’s internal compo-
nents immediately after an air
bag has inflated. The parts
that come into contact with an
inflating air bag may be very
hot.
After complete inflation, the air bag
immediately starts deflating, enabling
the driver to maintain forward visibili-
ty and the ability to steer or operate
other controls.
