■
Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflating) SRS
●
airbag.
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
●

eral minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
The windshield may crack.
●
For 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" but-
ton) 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 communicate, the
argent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the neces-
sary emergency services. (P. 432)
