Seating
and safety restraints
101
While the system is designed to
help reduce serious injuries, it may
also cause minor burns, abrasions,
swelling or temporary hearing loss.
Because air bags 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 air bag deployment. Thus, it
is extremely important that
occupants be properly restrained as
far away from the air bag module as
possible while maintaining vehicle
control.
Several air bag system
components get hot after
inflation. Do not touch them after
inflation.
If the air bag is inflated, the
air bag will not function
again and must be replaced
immediately. If the air bag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will
increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
