What will you see after an air bag inflates?

After an air bag inflates, it quickly deflates,

so quickly that some people may not even realize

the air bag inflated. Some components of the air

bag module

-- the steering wheel hub for the driver’s

air bag, or the instrument panel for the right front

passenger’s bag -- will be hot for a short time.

The parts of the bag that come into contact with you

may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There will be

some smoke and dust coming from vents in the deflated

air bags. Air bag inflation doesn’t prevent the driver

from seeing or from being able to steer the vehicle,

nor does it stop people from leaving the vehicle.

CAUTION:

When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air.

This dust could cause breathing problems

for people with a history of asthma or other

breathing trouble. To avoid this, everyone in

the vehicle should get out as soon as it is safe to

do so. If you have breathing problems but can’t

get out of the vehicle after an air bag inflates,

then get fresh air by opening a window or door.

In many crashes severe enough to inflate an air bag,

windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.

Additional windshield breakage may also occur from

the right front passenger air bag.

Air bags are designed to inflate only once. After they

inflate, you’ll need some new parts for your air bag

system. If you don’t get them, the air bag system

won’t be there to help protect you in another crash.

A new system will include air bag modules and

possibly other parts. The service manual for your

vehicle covers the need to replace other parts.

Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and

diagnostic module, which records information about

the air bag system. The module records information

about the readiness of the system, when the system

commands air bag inflation and driver’s safety belt

usage at deployment.

Let only qualified technicians work on your air

bag system. Improper service can mean that your

air bag system won’t work properly. See your dealer

for service.
