WARNING: If the airbag has deployed, the airbag will not

function again and must be replaced immediately. If the airbag is

not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a

crash.

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.

SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™

The system flashes the turn signal lamps and sounds the horn

(intermittently) in the event of a serious impact that deploys an airbag

equipped on your vehicle, such as front, side, side curtain or Safety Canopy.

The horn and lamps will turn off when:

• you press the hazard control button

• you press the panic button (if equipped) on the remote entry

transmitter, or

• your vehicle runs out of power.
