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 (e.g., 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威.

The horn and lamps will turn off when:

• the hazard control button is pressed

• the panic button (if equipped) is pressed on the remote entry

transmitter, or

• your vehicle runs out of power.
