manner in response to the occupant’s forward momentum. This helps

reduce the risk of force-related injuries to the occupant’s chest by

limiting the load on the occupant. Refer to Safety Belt section in this

chapter.

Determining if the Personal Safety System姟 is operational

The Personal Safety System娂 uses a warning light in the instrument

cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer

to the Warning lights and chimes section in the Instrument Cluster

chapter. Routine maintenance of the Personal Safety System娂 is not

required.

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits

and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s),

safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, and the driver

seat position sensor. In addition, the RCM also monitors the restraints

warning light in the instrument cluster. A difficulty with the system is

indicated by one or more of the following.

• The warning light will either flash or stay lit.

• The warning light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is

turned on.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat

periodically until the problem and warning light are repaired.

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the Personal

Safety System娂 serviced at your dealership or by a qualified technician

immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not function properly in

the event of a collision.

Safety belt precautions

Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap

belt snug and low across the hips.

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit where they

can be properly restrained.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the

vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from

injury in a collision.
