The design and development of the safety
canopy 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 personal
injury related to the deployment of a safety
canopy.
CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING
Do not modify the front end of your
vehicle. Adding equipment to the
front of the vehicle, including the
frame, bumper, front body structure or
recovery hook may affect the performance
of the airbag system, increasing the risk of
personal injury. The vehicle has a collection of crash
sensors which provide information to the
supplemental restraint system control
module. The system will deploy the front
safety belt pretensioners, driver airbag,
passenger airbag, seat mounted side
airbags or safety canopy based on the type
of crash, for example frontal impact or side
impact. The supplemental restraint system
control module will deploy the appropriate
safety devices.
The supplemental restraint system control
module also monitors the readiness of the
above safety devices plus the crash
sensors. The readiness of the
supplemental restraint system is indicated
by a warning lamp in the instrument cluster
or by a backup tone if the warning lamp is
not working. Routine maintenance of the
airbags is not required.
If a fault is present in the supplemental
restraint system it is indicated by one or
more of the following: The warning lamp will not
illuminate when you switch the
ignition on.
• The warning lamp will either flash or
stay illuminated.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The
tone pattern will repeat periodically
until the fault, the warning lamp or
both are repaired.
If the above occurs, even intermittently,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer immediately. Unless repaired, the
system may not operate correctly in the
event of a crash.
The safety belt pretensioners and the front
airbags are designed to deploy when the
vehicle sustains longitudinal deceleration
sufficient to cause the supplemental
restraint system control module to deploy
a safety device.
The fact that the safety belt pretensioners
or front airbags did not deploy for all front
seat occupants in a crash does not mean
there is a fault with the system. The
supplemental restraint system control
module determines crash conditions,
severity and safety belt usage to deploy
the appropriate safety devices.
• The design of the front airbags is to
deploy only in frontal and near-frontal
crashes, for example not rollovers, side
impacts or rear impacts, unless the
crash causes sufficient longitudinal
deceleration.
• The design of the safety belt
pretensioners is to deploy only in
frontal and near-frontal crashes, and
may also deploy if a safety canopy
deploys.

At normal operating temperature, the
needle will remain in the center section.
If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so and switch the
engine off. Determine the cause once the
engine has cooled down. See Engine
Coolant Check (page 214).
Note: Do not restart the engine until the
cause of overheating has been determined
and resolved.
Tripmeter Reset and Distance to
Empty
(If Equipped)
Press the button to change between the
tripmeter and distance to empty
information. Press and hold the button to
reset the tripmeter.
Fuel Gauge
Note: The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when your vehicle is moving or on a gradient. Switch the ignition on. The fuel gauge will
indicate approximately how much fuel is
in the fuel tank. The arrow adjacent to the
fuel pump symbol indicates on which side
of your vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F when
you refuel your vehicle. If the needle points
to E after adding fuel, this indicates your
vehicle needs service soon.
After refueling some variability in needle
position is normal:
•
It may take a short time for the needle
to reach F after leaving the gas station.
This is normal and depends upon the
slope of pavement at the gas station.
• The fuel amount dispensed into the
tank is a little less or more than the
gauge indicated. This is normal and
depends upon the slope of pavement
at the gas station.
• If the gas station nozzle shuts off
before the tank is full, try a different
gas pump nozzle.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the fuel
gauge needle is at 1/16th.

WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators will alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some
lamps will illuminate when you start your
vehicle to make sure they work. If any
lamps remain on after starting your vehicle,
