Airbag SRS1An inflating airbag cancause facial abrasionsand other injuries. Minimise therisk of injury by ensuring thatfront seat occupants arewearing their seat belts and areseated correctly, with the seatas far back as is practical.H2774Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and occurs withconsiderable force, accompanied by a loud noise. The inflatedbag, together with the seat belt restraint system, limit themovement of a front seat occupant, thereby reducing the riskof injury to the head and upper torso.When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is released. This is notan indication of a malfunction, however, the powder maycause irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly flushedfrom the eyes and any cuts or abrasions of the skin. Afterinflation, front and side airbags deflate immediately (side headprotection airbags deflate slowly). This provides a gradualcushioning effect for the occupant and also ensures that thedriver’s forward vision is not impaired.NOTE: After inflation, someairbag components are hot - DONOT touch until they have cooled.33
