{CAUTION:
When an airbag inflates, there is dust in
the air. This dust could cause breathing
problems for people with a history of
asthma or other breathing trouble. To
avoid this, everyone in the vehicle should
get out as soon as it is safe to do so. If
you have breathing problems but cannot
get out of the vehicle after an airbag
inflates, then get fresh air by opening a
window or a door. If you experience
breathing problems following an airbag
deployment, you should seek medical
attention.
In many crashes severe enough to inflate the
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage
may also occur from the right front passenger
airbag.
Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on
and flash the hazard warning flashers when the
airbags inflate. You can lock the doors again, turn
the interior lamps off and turn off the hazard
warning flashers by using the controls for those
features.
• Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After
an airbag inflates, you will need some new
parts for your airbag system. If you do not get
them, the airbag system will not be there to help
protect you in another crash. A new system will
include airbag modules and possibly other
parts. The service manual for your vehicle
covers the need to replace other parts.
• Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. See Vehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders on page 555.
• Let only qualified technicians work on your
airbag systems. Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer for service.
