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:

• 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.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS

WARNING: Never place your arm or any objects over an airbag

module. Placing your arm over a deploying airbag can result in

serious arm fractures or other injuries. Objects placed on or over the

airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the

airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury.

WARNING: Airbags can kill or injure a child in a child seat.

Never place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active airbag. If

you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the

seat all the way back.
