What to expect after an air bag
inflates
Noise and smoke from inflating
air bag
(Continued)
Always   wash  exposed   skin
areas  thoroughly   with  luke-
warm water and mild soap.
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  because of  the  contact  of your
chest with both the seat  belt and the
air bag, as well as from breathing the
smoke and powder. The powder may
aggravate asthma for some people. If
you  experience  breathing problems
after  an  air  bag  deployment,  seek
medical attention immediately.
Though the  smoke  and powder  are
nontoxic, they may cause irritation to
the  skin,  eyes, nose,  throat,  etc.  If
this is the case,  wash and rinse with
cold  water   immediately   and  seek
medical  attention  if   the  symptoms
persist.
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.
Always   have  an   authorized
HYUNDAI dealer replace the air
bag  immediately after  deploy-
ment. Air bags are designed to
be used only once.
WARNING
After  an  air  bag  inflates,  take
the following precautions:
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.
