Children and air bags

For additional important safety information, read all information on

safety restraints in this guide.

Children must always be properly restrained. Failure to follow these

instructions may increase the risk of injury in a collision.

An infant in a rear-facing seat faces a high risk of serious or fatal

injuries from a deploying passenger air bag. Rear facing infant

seats should NEVER be placed in the front seats, unless the passenger

air bag is turned off. See Passenger air bag ON/OFF switch.

How does the air bag supplemental restraint system work?

The air bag SRS is designed to

activate when the vehicle sustains

sufficient longitudinal deceleration.

The fact that the air bags did not

inflate in a collision does not mean

that something is wrong with the

system. Rather, it means the forces

were not of the type sufficient to

cause activation. Air bags are

designed to inflate in frontal and

near-frontal collisions, not rollover,

side-impact, or rear-impacts.

The air bags inflate and deflate

rapidly upon activation. After air bag

deployment, it is normal to notice a

smoke-like, powdery residue or

smell the burnt propellant. This may

consist of cornstarch, talcum

powder (to lubricate the bag) or

sodium compounds (e.g., baking

soda) that result from the

combustion process that inflates the

air bag. Small amounts of sodium

hydroxide may be present which

may irritate the skin and eyes, but

none of the residue is toxic.
