THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
•
The Driver and Passen ger Airb ag/In flator Units are
located in the center of the steering wheel and the right
side of the instru ment panel. When the ORC detects a
collision requ iring the airbags, it signals the inflator
units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to
inflate the front airbags. Different airbag inflation rates
are possible, based on collision severity and occupant
size. The steering wheel hu b trim cover and the upper
right side of the instru ment panel separate and fold
out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size. The
bags fully inflate in abou t 50–70 millisecond s. This is
abou t half of the time it takes to blink you r eyes. The
bags then quickly deflate while help ing to restrain the
driver and front passenger.

collisions. When the Occupant Restraint Control Mod -
ule (ORC) detects a collision requ iring the wind ow
bags to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side
of the vehicle both sides of the vehicle if equ ipped
with rollover sensing. A quantity of nontoxic gas is
generated to inflate the wind ow bag. The inflating
wind ow bag pushes the outsid e edge of the head liner
out of the way and covers the wind ow. The airbag
inflates in abou t 30 millisecond s (abou t one-qu arter of
the time it takes to blink you r eyes) with enou gh force
to injure you if you are not belted and seated prop erly,
or if item s are positioned in the area where the
wind ow bag inflates. This especially applies to chil-
dren. The wind ow bag is only abou t 3 inches (8 cm)
thick when it is inflated .
The driver front airbag gas is vented throu gh the vent
holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front
airbag gas is vented throu gh the vent holes in the sides
of the airbag. In this way, the airbags do not interfere
with you r control of the vehicle.
