WARNINGS
Do not attempt to service, repair, or
modify the side curtain airbags, its
fuses, the A, B, or C pillar trim, or the
headliner on a vehicle containing side
curtain airbags. Contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible. All occupants of the vehicle including
the driver should always wear their
safety belts even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system and side
curtain airbag is provided. To reduce risk of injury, do not
obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the side curtain
airbag. If the side curtain airbags have
deployed, the side curtain airbags
will not function again. The side
curtain airbags (including the A, B and C
pillar trim and headliner) must be
inspected and serviced by an authorized
dealer. If the side curtain airbag is not
replaced, the unrepaired area will increase
the risk of injury in a crash. The side curtain airbags will deploy during
significant side crashes. The side curtain
airbags are mounted to the roof side-rail
sheet metal, behind the headliner, above
each row of seats. The side curtain airbags
are designed to inflate between the side
window area and occupants to further
enhance protection provided in side impact
crashes.
The system consists of the following: •
Side curtain airbags located above the
trim panels over the front and rear side
windows identified by a label or
wording on the headliner or roof-pillar
trim.
• A flexible headliner which opens above
the side doors to allow side air curtain
deployment. Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
See Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 41).
Children 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the back
seats. The side curtain airbags will not
interfere with children restrained using a
properly installed child or booster seat
because it is designed to inflate downward
from the headliner above the doors along
the side window opening.
The design and development of the side
curtain airbags 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
curtain airbags.

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. The 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, knee airbag(s),
seat mounted side airbags, and the side
curtain airbags. Based on the type of crash
(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. 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 safety belt pretensioners and the front
airbag supplemental restraint system are
designed to activate when the vehicle
sustains longitudinal deceleration
sufficient to cause the restraints control
module to deploy a safety device.
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 longitudinal deceleration.
• The design of the safety belt
pretensioners is to activate in frontal
and near-frontal crashes, and may also
activate when a side curtain deploys.
• The driver's knee airbag may deploy
based on crash severity and occupant
conditions.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
MyKey allows you to program keys with
restricted driving modes to promote good
driving habits. All but one of the keys
programmed to the vehicle can be
activated with these restricted modes.
Any keys that have not been programmed
are referred to as administrator keys or
admin keys. These can be used to:
•
Create a MyKey
• Program configurable MyKey settings
• Clear all MyKey features
When you have programmed a MyKey, you
can access the following information using
the information display:
• How many admin keys and MyKeys are
programmed to your vehicle.
• The total distance your vehicle has
traveled using any MyKey.
Note: All MyKeys are programmed to the
same settings. You cannot program them
individually.
If a MyKey and an admin key are present,
your vehicle will recognize the admin key
only.
Note: For vehicles with intelligent access
key (push button start) keyless start, when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent
access key (fob) are present, the admin fob
will be recognized by the vehicle to start the
engine.
Non-configurable Settings
The following settings cannot be changed
by an admin key user:
• Belt-minder. You cannot disable this
feature. The audio system will mute
when the front seat occupants' safety
belts are not fastened.
• Early low fuel. The low-fuel warning
activates earlier, giving the MyKey user
more time to refuel. •
Driver assist features, if equipped on
your vehicle, are forced on: parking aid,
blind spot information system (BLIS)
with cross traffic alert, lane departure
warning and forward collision warning
system.
• Satellite radio adult content
restrictions.
Configurable Settings
With an admin key, you can configure
certain MyKey settings when you first
create a MyKey and before you recycle the
key or restart the vehicle. You can also
change the settings afterward with an
admin key:
• Vehicle speed limits can be set.
Warnings will be shown in the display
followed by an audible tone when your
vehicle reaches the set speed. You
cannot override the set speed by fully
depressing the accelerator pedal.
• Vehicle speed minders of 45, 55 or 65
mph (75, 90 or 105 km/h). Once you
select a speed it will be shown in the
display followed by an audible tone
when the set vehicle speed is
exceeded.
• Audio system maximum volume of
45%. A message will be shown in the
display when you attempt to exceed
the limited volume. Also, the speed
sensitive compensated volume
(automatic volume control) feature
will be disabled.
• Always on setting. When this is
selected you will not be able to disable
AdvanceTrac, 911 Assist or the do not
disturb feature (if your vehicle is
equipped with these features).
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display to create a
MyKey.

riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed. Do not allow
people to ride in any area of your vehicle
that does not have seats and safety belts.
Make sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a safety belt correctly. Make sure that the liftgate is closed
to prevent exhaust fumes from being
drawn into your vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate door
open, keep your vehicle well ventilated so
outside air does not enter your vehicle. Note:
Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Note: Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.)
from the spoiler, glass or liftgate. This could
damage the liftgate and its components.
