impacted side of the vehicle will be
activated. 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 40).
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 sensor detects a large amount of
moisture on the windshield. With high
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a small amount of
moisture on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
Sensor performance will be affected if the
area around the interior mirror is dirty. The
rain sensor is very sensitive and the wipers
may operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the
windshield. WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note:
Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat. The washers will spray for as long as you
pull the lever toward you. When you
release the lever, the wipers will operate

E142452

The system switches the low beam
headlamps on at a reduced intensity in
daylight conditions.
To switch the system on, switch the
ignition on, and switch the lighting control
to the off, autolamp or parking lamp
position.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on your
high beams if it is dark enough and no other
traffic is present. When it detects an
approaching vehicle ’s headlights, a
preceding vehicle ’s tail lamps or street
lighting, the system will turn off the high
beams before they distract other drivers.
The low beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic control
of the high beams is not functioning
properly, check the windshield in front of
the camera for blockage. A clear view of the
road is required for proper system operation.
Any windshield damage in the area of the
camera field-of-view should be repaired.
Note: If a blockage is detected (e.g. bird
dropping, bug splatter, snow, or ice) and no
changes are observed, the system will go
into low beam mode until the blockage is
cleared. A message may also appear in the
instrument cluster display noting the front
camera is blocked.
Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots will not affect the automatic high
beam system ’s performance. However, in
cold or inclement weather conditions, the
automatic high beam system's availability
may be decreased, especially at startup. If
you want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may turn
the high beams ON or OFF using the
multifunction switch lever. Automatic
control will resume when conditions are
correct. Note:
Modification of the vehicle ride height
(e.g. using much larger tires) may degrade
feature performance.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of the vehicle, and
monitors conditions continuously to decide
when to switch the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beams
will switch on if:
• The ambient light level is low enough
that high beams are needed.
• There is no traffic in front of the vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
25 mph (40 km/h)
.
The high beams will switch off if:
• An approaching vehicle's headlights or
a preceding vehicle's tail lamps are
detected.
• Vehicle speed falls below
16 mph
(25 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high enough
that high beams are not required.
• Severe rain, snow, or fog is detected.
• The camera is blocked.
Activating the System
Switch on the system using the information
display and autolamps. See Information
Displays
(page 83). See Autolamps
(page 67). 69
