WARNING: Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child seat

NEVER place a rear-facing child seat in front of an active air

bag. If you must use a forward-facing child seat in the front

seat, move the seat all the way back. Secure the seat and the

child in it properly.

How does the air bag supplemental restraint system work?

The air bag SRS is designed to

activate when the vehicle sustains

longitudinal deceleration sufficient

to cause the sensors to close an

electrical circuit that initiates air

bag inflation.

The fact that the air bags did not

inflate in a collision does not mean

that something is wrong with the

system. Rather, it means the forces

were not of the type sufficient to

cause activation. Air bags are designed to inflate in frontal and

near-frontal collisions, not rollover, side-impact, or rear-impacts unless

the collision causes sufficient longitudinal deceleration.

The air bags inflate and deflate

rapidly upon activation. After air bag

deployment, it is normal to notice a

smoke-like, powdery residue or

smell the burnt propellant. This may

consist of cornstarch, talcum

powder (to lubricate the bag) or

sodium compounds (e.g., baking

soda) that result from the

combustion process that inflates the

air bag. Small amounts of sodium

hydroxide may be present which

may irritate the skin and eyes, but

none of the residue is toxic.

While the system is designed to help

reduce serious injuries, contact with

a deploying air bag may also cause abrasions, swelling or temporary
