The total time for inflation and

deflation is 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.

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

Dual-Stage, Multiple-Threshold Front

Airbags (SRS)

Your vehicle is equipped with dual-

stage, multiple-threshold front

airbags (SRS). During a frontal crash

severe enough to cause one or both

front airbags to deploy, the airbags

can inflate at different rates,

depending on the severity of the

crash, whether or not the seat belts

are latched, and/or other factors.

Front airbags are designed to

supplement the seat belts to help

reduce the likelihood of head and

chest injuries in frontal crashes.

Advanced Airbags

Your front airbags are also advanced

airbags. The main purpose of this

feature is to help prevent airbag-

caused injuries to short drivers and

children or small statured adults who

ride in front.

For both advanced airbags to work

properly:

●

Occupants must sit upright and

wear their seat belts properly.

●

Do not spill any liquids on or

under the seats, cover the sensors,

or put any objects or metal items

under the front seats.

●

Objects placed or pushed under

the front passenger's seat may

cause the sensor to malfunction,

increasing the risk of injury in a

crash.

Failure to follow these instructions

could damage the sensors or prevent

them from working properly.
