Land Rover Defender: Air bag obstruction

Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section.

Never obstruct the operation of the air bags by placing any part of the body or any objects in contact with, or close to, an air bag module.

AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT EFFECTS

Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section.

When the air bag inflates:

A fine powder is released. The powder may cause irritation to the skin and should be thoroughly flushed from eyes and any cuts or abrasions. The powder can also cause breathing difficulty for people who suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems.

A loud noise is emitted. The noise may cause temporary discomfort and loss of hearing.

Some air bag components become very hot. Do not touch the air bag components until they have cooled sufficiently.

If any of these problems occur, get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

If breathing problems persist, seek medical attention.

After inflation, the front and seat mounted side air bags deflate immediately.

Deflation provides a gradual cushioning effect for the occupants and also makes sure the driver's forward vision is not obscured.
