extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the
●
front seats, parts of the front, side and rear pillars and roof side rails, may be hot for sev-
eral minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
The windshield may crack.
●
For Lexus Enform Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event
●
of a severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of the vehicle' s location (without needing to push the
"SOS" button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the
level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to communi-
cate, the argent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the
necessary emergency services. (P. 451)
