SAFETY RESTRAINTS

Personal Safety System姞

The Personal Safety System威 provides an improved overall level of

frontal crash protection to front seat occupants and is designed to help

further reduce the risk of airbag-related injuries. The system is able to

analyze different occupant conditions and crash severity before activating

the appropriate safety devices to help better protect a range of

occupants in a variety of frontal crash situations.

Your vehicle’s Personal Safety System威 consists of:

• Driver and passenger dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints.

• Front safety belts with pretensioners, energy management retractors,

and safety belt usage sensors.

• Driver’s seat position sensor.

• Front passenger sensing system

• “Passenger airbag off” or “pass airbag off” indicator lamp

• Front crash severity sensor.

• Restraints Control Module (RCM).

• Restraint system warning light and back-up tone.

• The electrical wiring for the airbags, crash sensor(s), safety belt

pretensioners, front safety belt usage sensors, driver seat position

sensor, front passenger sensing system, and indicator lights.

How does the Personal Safety System姞 work?

The Personal Safety System威 can adapt the deployment strategy of your

vehicle’s safety devices according to crash severity and occupant

conditions. A collection of crash and occupant sensors provides

information to the Restraints Control Module (RCM). During a crash, the

RCM may activate the safety belt pretensioners and/or either one or both

stages of the dual-stage airbag supplemental restraints based on crash

severity and occupant conditions.

The fact that the pretensioners or airbags did not activate for both front

seat occupants in a collision does not mean that something is wrong with

the system. Rather, it means the Personal Safety System威 determined

the accident conditions (crash severity, belt usage, etc.) were not

appropriate to activate these safety devices. Front airbags are designed

to activate only in frontal and near-frontal collisions, not rollovers,

side-impacts, or rear-impacts unless the collision causes sufficient

longitudinal deceleration.
