Airbag SRS
60
Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and 
occurs with considerable force, accompanied 
by a loud noise. The inflated bag, together with 
the seat belt restraint system, limit the 
movement of a front seat occupant, thereby 
reducing the risk of injury to the head and upper 
torso.
When an airbag inflates, a fine powder is 
released. This is not an indication of a 
malfunction, however, the powder may cause 
irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly 
flushed from the eyes and...

CHILD SEATS
Children aged 12 years and under are more 
likely than adult occupants to receive injuries 
from inflating airbags. For this reason, it is 
recommended that children should always be 
seated in the second row of seats in a child 
safety seat or restraint system appropriate to 
their age and size, (see ‘CHILD RESTRAINTS 
FOR SMALL CHILDREN AND BABIES’, page 52, 
and ‘CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR LARGER 
CHILDREN’, page 52).
If it is necessary for a child to travel in the front,

If the vehicle is to be scrapped; uninflated 
airbags are potentially very dangerous and
