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.

you can use the following procedure to temporarily move the shift lever:

of the shift lever bezel, carefully disengage the bezel from the shift lever housing, and
slide it up to the top of the shift lever.
•Push and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.
•Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool down into the access slot at the right rear
corner of the shift lever assembly, and push and hold the white override release lever
down.
•Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position.
•The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
•Reinstall the shift lever bezel (use care to avoid pinching the wiring), and the rubber
storage tray liner.
