The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all rollover events.
The rollover sensing-system determines if a rollover event
may be in progress and whether deployment is appropri-
ate. A slower-developing event may deploy the seat belt
pretensioners on both sides of the vehicle. A faster-
developing event may deploy the seat belt pretensioners
as well as the SABs and SABICs on both sides of the
vehicle. The rollover sensing-system may also deploy the
seat belt pretensioners, with or without the SABs and
SABICs, on both sides of the vehicle if the vehicle experi-
ences a near rollover event.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to deflate
immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all
collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with
the air bag system.
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 fric-
tion 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
