Dodge Charger: OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS / If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean
something is wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any or all of the following
may occur:
- The air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions and/or skin reddening
to the occu- pants as the air bags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar
to friction rope burns or those you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium
floor. They are not caused by contact with chemicals. They are not perma- nent
and normally heal quickly. However, if you haven’t healed significantly within
a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately.
- As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles
are a normal by-product of the process that gener- ates the non-toxic gas used
for air bag infla- tion. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes,
nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool
water. For nose or throat irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation continues,
see your doctor. If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another
collision. Have the air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer immediately. Also, have the Occupant
Restraint Controller System serviced as well.
NOTE:
- Air bag covers may not be obvious in the inte- rior trim, but they will
open during air bag deployment.
- After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) will determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine (if equipped)...
