information about the air bag system
if the air bag deploys in a crash.
The module records information about the readiness of the system,
which sensors activated the deployment, and whether the driver’s
safety belt was
in use.
Let only qualified technicians work on your air bag system. Improper
service can mean that your air
.. bag system won’t work properly. See
your dealer for service.
NOTICE:
If you damage the cover for the driver’s or the right-front\

passenger’s air bag, they may not work properly.
You may have
to replace the air bag on the steering wheel or both the air bag
and the instrument panel for the passenger’s air bag.
Do not
open
or break the air bag covers.
Is the smoke from an air bag inflation harmful?
The particles emitted during air bag inflation are not harmful to most
people. Some people with respiratory ailments may experience difficulty
breathing
if they stay in the vehicle with the windows closed after air bag
inflation.
So, if your air bag inflates, you and any passengers should exit
the vehicle
if and when it is safe to do so. If you or your passengers can’t
get out of the vehicle, try to get fresh air by opening a window, turning
on
the fan, or opening a door.

Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle's
safety belts.
If
you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can
wear
a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt
can provide.
Accident statistics show that children are safer
if they are restrained in
the rear seat. But they need to use the safety belts properly.
