In addition, the pretensioner system for the
front passenger is designed to only deploy
when the front passenger occupant
classification sensor detects a passenger
sitting on the front passenger's seat.
Some smoke (non-toxic gas) will be
released when the air bags and
l
pretensioners deploy. This does not indicate
a fire. This gas normally has no effect on
occupants, however, those with sensitive
skin may experience light skin irritation. If
residue from the deployment of the air bags
or the front pretensioner system gets on the
skin or in the eyes, wash it off as soon as
possible.
