After a crash, you may see what

looks like smoke. This is actually

powder from the airbag’s surface.

Although the powder is not harmful,

people with respiratory problems

may experience some temporary

discomfort. If this occurs, get out of

the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do

so.

For additional information on how

your airbags work, see the booklet

titled

that came with your

owner’s manual.

After inflating, the airbags

immediately deflate, so they won’t

interfere with the driver’s visibility,

or the ability to steer or operate

other controls.

The total time for inflation and

deflation is approximately one-tenth

of a second, so fast that most

occupants are not aware that the

airbags deployed until they see them

lying in their laps.

For additional information on how

your airbags work, ask your dealer

for a copy of the booklet titled

During a frontal crash, your seat

belts help restrain your lower body

and torso. Your airbag provides a

cushion to help restrain and protect

your head and chest.

Since both airbags use the same

sensors, both airbags normally

inflate at the same time. However, it

is possible for only one airbag to

inflate.

This can occur when the severity of

a collision is at the margin, or

threshold, that determines whether

or not the airbags will deploy. In

such cases, the seat belt will provide

sufficient protection, and the

supplemental protection offered by

the airbag would be minimal.
