Aston Martin DB 9 2010 Manual page 46

Airbags inflate rapidly and with considerable force; there is therefore
a risk of death or serious injury such as fractures, facial and eye
injuries or internal injuries, particularly to occupants who are not
properly restrained by seat belts or are not sitting correctly when the
airbags deploy. The risk of injury from a deploying airbag is greatest
close to the trim panel covering the airbag.
The whole sequence of events from sensing the impact to full
inflation of the airbag takes place in a fraction of a second. The noise
and gas associated with the deployment of the airbags is not injurious
to health.
3.16
Front Airbags - on a frontal
impact.
Side Airbags - on a side impact
(where the impact is on that side
only).
Do not change, modify or tamper with the steering wheel, front
passenger side fascia or any other part of the airbag system. Such
actions could disable the system or cause inadvertent airbag
deployment.
The system will not deploy in the event of minor frontal or side
impacts, such as contacts when parking. The airbag system is not
designed to protect against rear impacts.
Any work on the airbag system must only be carried out by an Aston
Martin Dealer.
