Crash sensors and monitoring

system with readiness indicator.

See Crash Sensors and Airbag

Indicator (page 42).

Children 12 years old and under should

always be properly restrained in the back

seats. The side curtain airbags will not

interfere with children restrained using a

properly installed child or booster seat

because it is designed to inflate downward

from the headliner above the doors along

the side window opening.

The design and development of the side

curtain airbags included recommended

testing procedures that were developed

by a group of automotive safety experts

known as the Side Airbag Technical

Working Group. These recommended

testing procedures help reduce the risk of

injuries related to the deployment of side

curtain airbags.

CRASH SENSORS AND

AIRBAG INDICATOR

WARNING

Modifying or adding equipment to

the front end of the vehicle (including

frame, bumper, front end body

structure and tow hooks) may affect the

performance of the airbag system,

increasing the risk of injury. Do not modify

the front end of the vehicle.

The vehicle has a collection of crash and

occupant sensors which provide

information to the restraints control

module which deploys (activates) the

front safety belt pretensioners, driver

airbag, passenger airbag, knee airbag(s),

seat mounted side airbags, side curtain

airbags and optional rear inflatable safety

belts. Based on the type of crash (frontal

impact or side impact), the restraints

control module will deploy the appropriate

safety devices.

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. 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 not

illuminate immediately after the

ignition is turned on.

• The readiness light will either flash or

stay lit.

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The

tone pattern will repeat periodically

until the problem, the light or both are

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 and the front

airbag supplemental restraint system are

designed to activate when the vehicle

sustains frontal deceleration sufficient to

cause the restraints control module to

deploy a safety device.
