How does an air bag restrain?
In moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal collisions.
even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel
or the
instrument panel. Air bags supplement the proteciiort
provided by safety belts.
Air bags distribute the force of
the impact more evenly over the occupant's upper body,
stopping the occupant more gradually. But air bags would
not help
you in many types of collisions, including
rollovers. rear impacts and side impacts. primarily because
an occupant's motion
is not toward those air bags. Air
bags should never be regarded as anything more than 2
supplement to safety belts, and then only in moderate to
severe frontai or near-frontal collisions.
What will you see after an air bag inflates?
After an air bag inflates, it quickly deflates, SO
quiclcly that some people may not even realize the
air bag inflated. Some components of the
air bag
module
-- the steering wheel hub for the driver's air
bag, or the instrument panel for the right front
passenger's bag
-- will be hot for a short time. The parts
of the bag that come into contact with you may be
warm, but not too hot to touch. There will be sorne
smoke and dust coming from vents in the deflated air
bags. Air
bag inflation doesn-t prevent the driver from
seeing or from being able to steer the vehicle,
nor does it
stop people from leaving the vehicle.
When an air bag inflates, there is dust in the air.
This dust could cause breathing problems
for
people with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble.
To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as
soon as it is safe to do so.
If you have breathing problems but can't get out
of the vehicle after an air bag inflates, then get
fresh air by opening a window or door.
Your vehicle has a feature that will automatically unlock
the doors and turn
the interior lamps on when the air
bags inflate (if battery power is available). You can lock
the doors again and
tun: the interior lamps off by using
the
door lock and interior lamp controls.
In many crashes severe enough.to inflate an air bag,
windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.
Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the
right: front passenger air
bag.

OFF (C): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering

vehicle
in motion while the engine is off (for example,
if your vehicle is being pushed).
RUN (D): This is the position for driving.

stops or the system
is not functioning, you can steer but
it
will take much more effort.

It is not necessary to regularly check power steering
fluid unless you suspect there is
a leak in the system or
you hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate
a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired. When
the engine compartment
is cool, wipe the cap and
the top of the reservoir clean, then unscrew the cap and
wipe the dipstick with
a clean rag. Replace the cap and
completely tighten it. Then
remove the cap again and
look at
the fluid level on the dipstick.
The level should be at the FULL
COLD mark. If
necessary, add only enough fluid to bring the level up
to the mark.
To determine what kind
of fluid to use. see
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
Always
use the prpper fluid. Failure to use the proper
fluid can cause leaks and damage hoses and seals.
