VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button for unauthorized operation.While the Vehicle
Security Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following au-
dible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash,
and the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm The System:
Push the Key Fob LOCK button.
To Disarm The System:
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle.However, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm.If one of the pre-
viously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.If you remain in the vehicle and open
a door, the alarm will sound.If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected.The exterior lights
will flash, and the horn will sound.If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
•Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
•Air Bag Warning Light
•Steering Wheel and Column
•Instrument Panel
•Knee Impact Bolsters
•Advanced Front Air Bags
•Supplemental Side Air Bags
•Supplemental Knee Air Bags
•Front and Side Impact Sensors
•Seat Belt Pretentioners
•Seat Belt Buckle Switch
•Seat Track Position Sensors
Advanced Front Air Bags
•This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems.The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in every type of collision.
•Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplement-
ing the seat belts.Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of
injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
•The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that
may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck
underrides, and angle offset collisions.
•On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air
Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a
severe initial deceleration.
•Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and
damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should
have deployed.
•Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to
help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
•The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision.The Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system electrical components.

•The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approxi-
mately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to
the ON/RUN position.After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off.If
the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag
Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously.A single chime will sound to alert
you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
•The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system when-
ever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.If the ignition switch is
in the OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
•If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or
turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center imme-
diately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled.In this condition the air bags may
not be ready to inflate for your protection.Have an authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
•After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
•Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed.If you are involved in an-
other collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
•If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your
authorized dealer.
•Refer to “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)” in “Things To Know Before Starting
Your Vehicle” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instru-
ment panel below the steering column.The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides
enhanced protection during a frontal impact by working together with the seat belts, pre-
tensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.

WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
•Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death.Air bags need
room to inflate.Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering
wheel or instrument panel.
•No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
•This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs) located
in the outboard side of the front seats.The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
•This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs)
located above the side windows.The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG
or AIRBAG.The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of
vehicle occupants through side windows in cer tain side impact events.
•The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts
and certain rollover events (if equipped with rollover sensing).The Occupant Restraint
Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a
particular side impact or rollover event (if equipped with rollover sensing) is appropri-
ate, based on the severity and type of collision.Ve h i c l e d a m a g e b y i t s e l f i s n o t a g o o d
indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
