Determining if the Personal Safety System is operational

The Personal Safety System uses a warning light in the instrument

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

to the Warning Light section in the Instrument Cluster chapter.

Routine maintenance of the Personal Safety System is not required.

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

and the circuits for the air bag 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 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.

All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always

properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag (SRS) is

provided.
