Advanced Front Air Bags. Different air bag inflation rates
may be possible based on several factors, including
collision type, severity and occupant size. The steering
wheel hub trim cover and the upper right side of the
instrument panel separate and then fold out of the way,
as the air bags inflate to their full size. The air bags inflate
fully in about 50 to 70 ms. This is about half of the time
it takes to blink your eyes. The air bags then deflate
quickly while helping to restrain the driver and passen-
ger. The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is vented toward
the instrument panel through vent holes in the air bag
material. In this way, the air bags do not interfere with
your control of the vehicle.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 53
Occupant Classification System (OCS) — Front
Passenger Seat
The OCS is part of a Federally regulated safety system for
this vehicle. It is designed to deactivate the front Passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag for an unoccupied seat and
for occupants classified in a category other than a prop-
erly seated adult. This could be a child, teenager, or even
an adult.
WARNING!
• Never place a rear facing infant seat in front of an
air bag. A deploying Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child 12
years or younger, including a child in a rearward
facing infant seat.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
