SAFETY RESTRAINTS

Personal Safety System™

The Personal Safety System 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 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 crash severity sensor.

• Front passenger sensing system.

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

• Restraints Control Module (RCM) with impact and safing sensors.

• 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, and indicator lights.

How does the Personal Safety System work?

The Personal Safety System can adapt the deployment strategy of your

vehicle’s safety devices according to crash severity and conditions. A

collection of crash sensors provides information to the Restraints Control

Module (RCM). During a crash, the RCM may activate the safety belt

pretensioners and/or either none, one, or both stages of the dual-stage

airbag supplemental restraints based on crash severity and 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 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.
