Safety features of your vehicle
Noise and smoke
WARNING
WARNING
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 bag  inflates,  you  may
feel substantial discomfort  in breath-
ing 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   discomfort   and  prevent
prolonged exposure to the  smoke
and powder.
To   avoid    severe    personal
injury   or   death   caused   by
deploying  air bags  in a  colli-
sion, the  driver should  sit  as
far   back  from   the   steering
wheel  air bag  as  possible (at
least   250   mm    (10   inches)
away).  The   front  passenger
should always move their seat
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
Air bag inflates instantly in an
event  of  a  collision, passen-
gers may be injured by the  air
bag  expansion  force   if  they
are not in a proper position.
When  the  air bags  deploy,  the
air   bag  related    parts   in  the
steering
wheel,
instrument
panel and/or in both sides of the
roof  rails  above  the  front  and
rear doors  are very hot. To pre-
vent injury, do not  touch the air
bag storage areas internal com-
ponents  immediately   after   an
air bag has inflated.
Though smoke and powder are  non-
toxic,  it  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
the doctor if the symptom persists.
Air  bag  inflation  may   cause
injuries   including    facial   or
bodily
abrasions,
injuries
from broken glasses or burns.
