event may be in progress and whether deployment is

appropriate. 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 preten-

sioners 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

experiences 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

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 in-

structions for cleaning.
