collision to provide the best possible
protection to the vehicle occupants.
The system uses sensors to rapidly evaluate
the collision severity, the number of vehicle
occupants, each occupant!s weight, their
physical size and their seated position in
relation to their air bags. Once all these
factors are known the system will then deploy
the necessary air bags and regulate the
inflation pressure in the impact zone to
ensure the occupant!s safety.
After an accident the air bags begin to
depressurise almost immediately after the
inflation process has taken place. The gas
used to inflate the air bags escapes through
vents in the air bag and this helps reduce the
occurrence of major impact injuries to the
occupants.
An air bag slows down and restricts the
movement of the vehicle occupant reducing
the load on the body, but is not a substitute
for a correctly worn seat belt.
WARNING: If the air bags are
deployed, a bang will be heard and a
small amount of fine powder may be
released. The noise will not damage
your hearing and the powder does not
constitute a health hazard nor does it
imply that a fire has broken out. This
powder could cause short term
breathing difficulties for persons
suffering from asthma or other
respiratory conditions. To prevent
breathing difficulties, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible or open a
window.
WARNING: After an air bag has been
triggered, air bag parts are hot, do not
touch them. Have the air bags
replaced at your McLaren Retailer.

Position (OOP) operation. OOP can occur if a
small child is incorrectly positioned in the
passenger!s seat in the event of a collision in
which the air bags are deployed.
