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.

• Your vehicle runs out of power.
