If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any

or all of the following may occur:

The air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions

and/or skin reddening to the occupants as the air bags

deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to friction

rope burns or those you might get sliding along a carpet

or gymnasium floor. They are not caused by contact with

chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal

quickly. However, if you haven’t healed significantly

within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your

doctor immediately.

As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like

particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the

process that generates the non-toxic gas used for air bag

inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin,

eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation,

rinse the area with cool water. For nose or throat

irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation continues,

see your doctor. If these particles settle on your clothing,

follow the garment manufacturer’s instructions for

cleaning.

Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed.

If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will

not be in place to protect you.

WARNING!

Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners cannot
protect you in another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor assem-
blies replaced by an authorized dealer immediately.
Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.

NOTE:

Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim,

but they will open during air bag deployment.

After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an

authorized dealer immediately.
