[. . . ] The airbag was designed to inflate between the door panel and occupant to further enhance the protection provided occupants in side impact collisions. The airbag SRS is designed to activate when the vehicle sustains lateral deceleration sufficient to cause the sensors to close an electrical circuit that initiates airbag inflation. 144 2008 Milan (mln) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints The fact that the airbags did not inflate in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with the system. Rather, it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause activation. Side airbags are designed to inflate in side-impact collisions, not roll-over, rear-impact, frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient lateral deceleration. Several air bag system components get hot after inflation. If the side airbag has deployed, the airbag will not function again. The side airbag system (including the seat) must be inspected and serviced by an authorized dealer. If the airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a collision. Determining if the system is operational The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the Airbag readiness section in the Instrument cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the airbag is not required. Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following: · The readiness light (same light as used for front airbag system) will either flash or stay lit. · The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is turned to the RUN position. · A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat periodically until the problem and light are repaired. If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a collision. 145 2008 Milan (mln) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints Side curtain airbag system Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the headliner at the siderail that may come into contact with a deploying side air curtain. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a collision. Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near the side air curtain cover. Do not lean your head on the door. The side airbag could injure you as it deploys from the seat. Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the side air curtain system, its fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the headliner on a vehicle containing a side air curtain. See your authorized dealer. All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always wear their safety belts even when an inflatable curtain is provided. To reduce the risk of injury, do not obstruct or place objects in the deployment zone of the inflatable curtain. 146 2008 Milan (mln) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus) Seating and Safety Restraints How does the side air curtain system work?The design and development of the side air curtain system included recommended testing procedures that were developed by a group of automotive safety experts known as the Side Airbag Technical Working Group.
