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.
