Inflation Effects

WARNING: When airbags inflate, a fine powder is released. This powder can irritate the skin and should be thoroughly flushed from the eyes and from any cuts or abrasions.

After inflation, the airbags deflate to provide a gradual cushioning effect for the occupants and to ensure the driver's forward vision is not obscured.

If airbags have inflated, or if your vehicle has been in a collision, always have the airbags, seat belt pre- tensioners and any associated components checked and, if necessary, replaced by Tesla.

In a collision, in addition to the airbags inflating:

•  Doors unlock, and the door handles extend.
•  Hazard warning lights turn on.
•  Interior lights turn on.
•  High voltage is disabled (you must contact Tesla Service to restore high voltage power).
•  Seat belt pretensioners retract the seat belt anchor and seat belt webbing.
