8. If the airbag or airbags are off, the off symbol
on the instrument panel near the clock will be
lit and stay lit when the key is turned to
ON or START.
If a child restraint has been installed and the off
symbol is not lit, turn the vehicle off. Remove
the child restraint from the vehicle and reinstall the
child restraint.
If after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting
the vehicle, the off symbol is still not lit, check
to make sure that the vehicle’s seatback is
not pressing the child restraint into the seat
cushion. If this happens, slightly recline the
vehicle’s seatback and adjust the seat cushion if
possible. Also make sure the child restraint is
not trapped under the vehicle head restraint. If this
happens, adjust the head restraint.
A thick layer of additional material such as a
blanket, or aftermarket equipment such as seat
covers heaters or massagers, located between the
seat cushion and the child restraint or small
occupant, can affect how the passenger sensing
system operates. Remove any additional material
from the seat cushion before reinstalling/securing
the child restraint or small occupant.If the off symbol is still not lit, secure the child in
the child restraint in a rear seat position in
the vehicle and check with your dealer.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the
vehicle’s safety belt and let it go back all the way.
The safety belt will move freely again and be
ready to work for an adult or larger child
passenger.
Airbag System
Your vehicle has a frontal airbag for the driver and
a frontal airbag for the right front passenger.
Your vehicle may also have side impact airbags.
Side impact airbags are available for the driver and
right front passenger.
If your vehicle has a side impact airbag for the
driver and/or the right front passenger, the word
AIRBAG will appear on the airbag covering on the
side of the seatback closest to the door.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection
provided by safety belts. Even though today’s
airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk
of injury from the force of an inflating bag, all
airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job.

Page 77 of 436
In many crashes severe enough to inflate an
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage may
also occur from the right front passenger airbag.
•Airbags are designed to inflate only once. After
they inflate, you will need some new parts for
the airbag system. If you do not get them, the
airbag system will not be there to help protect
you in another crash. A new system will include
airbag modules and possibly other parts. The
service manual for your vehicle covers the need
to replace other parts.
•Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. SeeVehicle Data Collection and
Event Data Recorders on page 413.
•Let only qualified technicians work on your
airbag system. Improper service can mean that
an airbag system will not work properly. See
your dealer for service.
Passenger Sensing System
Your vehicle has a passenger sensing system for
the right front passenger position. The passenger
airbag status indicator will be visible when you
turn your ignition key to ON or START.
If you have a sedan, the airbag off symbol will be
visible near the clock, located in the center of
the instrument panel, during the system check.

page 161.

Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and
the trunk or liftgate.
Ensure that the windows are closed, as the
system can be armed even if the windows
are open.
2. Turn the key to LOCK and remove the key
from the ignition.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, the
transmitter will not arm the theft-deterrent
system.
3. Lock the doors by pressing the lock button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter.
•The LED light on the transmitter will
flash once.
•All of the doors will lock.
•The hazard warning lamps will flash once
and the horn will chirp.
•The security light will flash to indicate that
the theft-deterrent system is armed. For
hatchback models, the security light
is located on the secondary information
center (SIC) on the center of the instrument
panel. SeeSecondary Information Center
(SIC) (Hatchback Only) on page 174.
For sedan models, the security light is
located on the center of the instrument
panel near the clock. SeeInstrument Panel
Overview on page 132.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident, do one
of the following:
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front door
using the key.
•Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm when a door or the trunk or liftgate is
opened.
If you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent
system, lock the vehicle using the key or the
manual door locks.

8:00. If this button is pressed while the time is
between 8:30 and 8:59, the display is set to 9:00.
After disconnecting the battery or replacing the
fuse, reset the clock.
