What Will You See After an

Airbag Inﬂates?

After a frontal airbag inﬂates, it quickly deﬂates,

so quickly that some people may not even realize the

airbag inﬂated. Roof-mounted side impact airbags

deﬂate more slowly and may still be at least partially

inﬂated minutes after the vehicle comes to rest. Some

components of the airbag module may be hot for a

short time. These components include the steering

wheel hub for the driver’s frontal airbag and the

instrument panel for the right front passenger’s frontal

airbag. For vehicles with roof-mounted side impact

airbags, the ceiling of your vehicle near the side

windows may be warm. The parts of the airbag that

come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot

to touch. There will be some smoke and dust coming

from the vents in the deﬂated airbags. Airbag inﬂation

does not prevent the driver from seeing out of the

windshield or being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it

stop people from leaving the vehicle.

{CAUTION:

When an airbag 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

cannot get out of the vehicle after an airbag

inﬂates, then get fresh air by opening a

window or a door. If you experience breathing

problems following an airbag deployment, you

should seek medical attention.

In many crashes severe enough to inﬂate an airbag,

windshields are broken by vehicle deformation.

Additional windshield breakage may also occur from the

right front passenger airbag.
