Upon deployment, tear seams molded
directly into the pad covers will separate
under pressure from the expansion of the
airbags. Further opening of the covers
then allows full inflation of the airbags.
A fully inflated airbag, in combination with
a properly worn seat belt, slows the driver's
forward motion, reducing the risk of head
and chest injury.
After complete inflation, the airbag
immediately starts deflating, enabling the
driver to maintain forward visibility and the
ability to steer or operate other controls.

The airbag modules are located both in the
center of the steering wheel and in the front
passenger's panel above the glove box.
When the SRSCM detects a sufficiently
severe impact to the front of the vehicle, it
will automatically deploy the front airbags.
CAUTION:
o Do not install or place any accesso-
ries (drink holder, cassette holder,
sticker, etc.) on the front passenger's
panel above the glove box in a vehicle
with a passenger's airbag. Such ob-
jects may become dangerous pro-
jectiles and cause injury if the
passenger's airbag inflates.
o When installing a container of liquid
air freshener inside the vehicle, do
not place it near the instrument cluster
nor on the instrument panel surface.
If there is any leakage from the air
freshener onto these areas
(instrument cluster, instrument panel
or air ventilator), it may damage these
