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.
