The restraints control module also monitors the readiness of the above

safety devices plus the crash and occupant sensors. The readiness of the

safety system is indicated by a warning indicator light in the instrument

cluster or by a backup tone if the warning light is not working. See the

Instrument Cluster chapter. Routine maintenance of the airbag is not

required.

A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:

• The readiness light will either flash or stay lit.

• The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after the

ignition is turned on.

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

periodically until the problem or light is repaired.

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

restraint system serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless

serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a crash.

The safety belt pretensioners, rear inflatable safety belts and the airbag

supplemental restraint system are designed to activate when the vehicle

sustains frontal or sideways deceleration sufficient to cause the restraints

control module to deploy a safety device or when a certain likelihood of

a rollover event is detected by the rollover sensor.

The fact that the safety belt pretensioners or airbags did not activate for

both front seat occupants in a crash does not mean that something is

wrong with the system. Rather, it means the restraints control module

determined the accident conditions (such as crash severity, belt usage)

were not appropriate to activate these safety devices.

• The design of the front airbags is to activate only in frontal and

near-frontal crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or rear impacts)

unless the crash causes sufficient frontal deceleration.

• The design of the safety belt pretensioners and rear inflatable safety

belts is to activate in frontal, near-frontal and side crashes, and in

rollovers.

• The design of the side airbags is to inflate in certain side impact

crashes. Side airbags may activate in other types of crashes if the

vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion or deformation.

• The design of the Safety Canopy is to inflate in certain side impact

crashes or rollover events. The Safety Canopy may activate in other

types of crashes if the vehicle experiences sufficient sideways motion

or deformation, or a certain likelihood of rollover.
