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.

Your 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, seat mounted

side airbags, and the Safety Canopy®.

Based on the type of crash (frontal impact,

side impact or rollover), 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 Instrument Cluster (page

80). 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 fact that the safety belt pretensioners

or front airbags did not activate for both

front seat occupants in a crash does not

mean that something is wrong with the

system. Rather, it means the restraints

control module determined the accident

conditions (crash severity, belt usage)

were not appropriate to activate these

safety devices.

• The design of the front airbags is to

activate only in frontal and near-frontal

crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or

rear impacts) unless the crash causes

sufficient frontal deceleration.

• The design of the safety belt

pretensioners is to activate in frontal,

near-frontal and side crashes, and in

rollovers.

• The design of the side airbags is to

inflate in certain side impact crashes.

Side airbags may activate in other

types of crashes if the vehicle

experiences sufficient sideways motion

or deformation.

• The design of the Safety Canopy is to

inflate in certain side impact crashes

or rollover events. The Safety Canopy

may activate in other types of crashes

if the vehicle experiences sufficient

sideways motion or deformation, or a

certain likelihood of rollover.

AIRBAG DISPOSAL

Contact your authorized dealer as soon as

possible. Airbags must be disposed of by

qualified personnel.
