Noise and smoke
When the airbags inflate, they make a
loud noise and they leave smoke and
powder in the air inside of the vehicle.
This is normal and is a result of the
ignition of the airbag inflator. After the
airbag inflates, you may feel substantial
discomfort in breathing due to the
contact of your chest with both the
seat belt and the airbag, as well as from
breathing the smoke and powder. Open
your doors and/or windows as soon as
possible after impact in order to reduce
discomfort and prevent prolonged
exposure to the smoke and powder.
Though smoke and powder are non-
toxic, it may cause irritation to the skin
(eyes, nose and throat, etc.). If this is
the case, wash and rinse with cold water
immediately and consult with the doctor
if the symptom persists.
WARNING
When the airbags deploy, the airbag
related parts in the steering wheel
are very hot. To prevent injury, do not
touch the airbag storage area’s internal
components immediately after an
airbag has inflated.
Do not install a child restraint on
the front passenger’s seat
(if equipped)
OYDESA2042
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat. If the
airbag deploys, it would impact the rear-
facing child restraint, causing serious or
fatal injury.
In addition, do not place front-facing
child restraints in the front passenger’s
seat either. If the front passenger airbag
inflates, it would cause serious or fatal
injuries to the child.
