The right front passenger air bag is not designed to restrain occupants in the front seating position. Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the air bag covers that may come into contact with an inflating air bag. Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System or its fuses.
uno_how_work Seating and safety restraints Rear-facing child seats or infant carriers should never be placed in the front seats. How does the air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) work? The SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle is in a collision, similar to hitting a fixed barrier head on at 12–24 km/h (8–14 mph). The fact that the air bags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system.
Seating and safety restraints The air bags inflate and deflate rapidly upon activation. After air bag deployment, it is normal to notice a smoke-like, powdery residue or smell the burnt propellant. This may consist of cornstarch, talcum powder (to lubricate the bag) or sodium compounds (e.g., baking soda) that result from the combustion process that inflates the air bag. Small amounts of sodium hydroxide may be present which may irritate the skin and eyes, but none of the residue is toxic.
Seating and safety restraints The diagnostic module monitors its own internal circuits and the supplemental air bag electrical system readiness (including the impact sensors), the system wiring, the air bag system readiness light, the air bag back up power and the air bag ignitors. uno_determing_operational Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system.
