Owners Manual

Your vehicle is equipped
with
a diagnostic module, which records
information about the air bag system
if
the air bag deploys
in
a crash.
The module records information about the readiness of the system,
which sensors activated the deployment, and whether the driver’s
safety belt was
in
use.
Let only qualified technicians work on
your
air bag system. Improper
service can mean that your air
..
bag system won’t work properly. See
your dealer for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver’s or the right-front
passenger’s air bag, they may not work properly.
You
may have
to
replace the air bag on the steering wheel or both the air bag
and the instrument panel for the passenger’s air bag.
Do
not
open
or
break the air bag covers.
Is
the
smoke
from
an air bag inflation harmful?
The particles emitted during air bag inflation are not harmful to most
people. Some people with respiratory ailments may experience difficulty
breathing
if
they stay in the vehicle with the windows closed after air bag
inflation.
So,
if
your air bag inflates, you and any passengers should exit
the vehicle
if
and when it is safe to do
so.
If
you
or your passengers can’t
get out of the vehicle, try to get fresh air by opening a window, turning
on
the fan,
or
opening a door.
