The design and development of the side airbag system 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 airbags.

CRASH SENSORS AND AIRBAG INDICATOR

WARNING: Modifying or adding equipment to the front end of

your 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 your

vehicle.

Your vehicle has a collection of crash and occupant sensors which

provide information to the restraints control module. T he restraints

control module deploys (activates) the front safety belt pretensioners,

driver airbag, passenger airbag and seat mounted side airbags. Based on

the type of accident (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. 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 and/or light 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 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.
