haven't healed significantly within a few
days, or if you have any blistering, see your
doctor immediately.
• As the airbags deflate you may see some
smoke-like particles. The particles are a nor-
mal by-product of the process that gener-
ates the non-toxic gas used for airbag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may irritate the
skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or
eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water.
For nose or throat irritation, move to fresh air.
If the irritation continues, see your doctor. If
these particles settle on your clothing, follow
the garment manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags
have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the airbags will not be in place to
protect you.
WARNING!
• Deployed airbags and seat belt pretension-
ers cannot protect you in another collision.
Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioner,
and seat belt retractor assembly replaced
by an authorized dealer as soon as imme-
diately. Also, have the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) system serviced as well.
• Do not attempt to modify any part of your
airbag system. The airbag may inflate ac-
cidentally or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer for any airbag sys-
tem service. If your seat, including your trim
cover and cushion, needs to be serviced in
any way (including removal or loosening/
tightening of seat attachment bolts), take
the vehicle to your authorized dealer. Only
manufacturer approved seat accessories
may be used. If it is necessary to modify the
airbag system for persons with disabilities,
contact your authorized dealer.
Maintaining Your Airbag System
WARNING!
• Modifications to any part of the airbag
system could cause it to fail when you need
it. You could be injured if the airbag system
is not there to protect you. Do not modify
the components or wiring, including adding
any kind of badges or stickers to the steer-
ing wheel hub trim cover or the upper right
side of the instrument panel. Do not modify
the front bumper or vehicle body structure,
or add aftermarket side steps or running
boards.
• You need proper knee impact protection in
a collision. Do not mount or locate any
aftermarket equipment on or behind the
knee bolsters.
• It is dangerous to try to repair any part of
the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell
anyone who works on your vehicle that it
has an airbag system.
