AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT EFFECTS
When an air bag inflates, a fine powder is
released. This is normal and not an
indication of a malfunction. The powder may
cause irritation to the skin and should be
thoroughly flushed from eyes and any cuts or
abrasions. This powder can cause breathing
difficulties for asthma sufferers or people
with other respiratory problems. If this
occurs, get out of the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so or get fresh air by opening a
window. If breathing problems persist, seek
medical attention.
Air bag deployment is accompanied by a very
loud noise which may cause discomfort and
temporary loss of hearing.
After inflation, the front and seat mounted air
bags deflate immediately. This provides a
gradual cushioning effect for the occupants
and also ensures that the driver’s forward
vision is not obscured.
AIR BAG WARNING LAMP
Even with advanced air bags, children can be
seriously injured or killed. Never place a
child in any type of child restraint or booster
seat in the front passenger seat. Children
under the age of 13 should always ride in the
rear.
If any of the following warning lamp conditions
occur, the vehicle should be checked by your
Dealer/Authorized Repairer immediately.
• The warning lamp fails to illuminate when
the starter switch is initially switched on.
• The warning lamp fails to extinguish within
six seconds of the starter switch being
switched on.
• The warning lamp illuminates at any time
other than as previously described.
OCCUPANT SENSING
A weight sensor is included in the front
passenger seat.
The occupancy weight sensor operates as
follows:
* It is possible to receive an intermittent
indicator illumination with an empty seat. This
is part of the systems adaptive behaviour and
does not affect the status of the front
passenger air bags. However, if the indicator
becomes permanently illuminated when the
seat is empty and the seat belt is unbuckled,
contact your Dealer/Authorized Repairer
immediately.
** In some cases, a small child placed in a
child seat may not activate the deactivation
indicator. If this occurs, the front passenger air
bag status will be as described for an empty
seat.
The air bag warning indicator is
mounted in the instrument panel
and will illuminate as a bulb check
when the ignition is switched on.
