The airbags are a supplemental restraint system and are designed to

work with the safety belts to help protect the driver and right front

passenger from certain upper body injuries. Airbags do not inflate slowly;

there is a risk of injury from a deploying airbag.

Note: You will hear a loud bang and see a cloud of harmless powdery

residue if an airbag deploys. This is normal.

The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After airbag

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 (for example, baking soda) that

result from the combustion process that inflates the airbag. Small

amounts of sodium hydroxide may be present which may irritate the skin

and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic. While the system is designed

to help reduce serious injuries, contact with a deploying airbag may also

cause abrasions or swelling. Temporary hearing loss is also a possibility

as a result of the noise associated with a deploying airbag. Because

airbags must inflate rapidly and with considerable force, there is the risk

of death or serious injuries, such as fractures, facial and eye injuries or

internal injuries, particularly to occupants who are not properly

restrained or are otherwise out of position at the time of airbag

deployment. Thus, it is extremely important that occupants be properly

restrained as far away from the airbag module as possible while

maintaining vehicle control.

Routine maintenance of the airbags is not required.

RESTRAINT SAFETY SYSTEM

The Restraint Safety System provides an improved overall level of frontal

crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help further

reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to analyze

different occupant conditions and crash severity before activating the

appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of occupants in

a variety of frontal crash situations.

Your vehicle’s Restraint Safety System consists of:

• Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints.

• Front outboard safety belts with pretensioners, energy management

retractors (first row only), and safety belt usage sensors.

• Driver’s seat position sensor

• Front crash severity sensors.

• Restraints control module with impact and safing sensors.
