upper right side of the instrument panel separate and
fold out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size.
The bags fully inflate in about 50±70 milliseconds. This
is about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes. The
bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the
driver and front passenger.
The driver's front airbag gas is vented through vent
holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger's front
airbag gas is vented through vent holes in the sides of
the airbag. In this way the airbags do not interfere with
your control of the vehicle.
²TheOccupant Classification Module (OCM)is lo-
cated beneath the front passenger seat. The OCM
classifies the occupant into one of three size categories
based on the input from the Bladder Assembly and a
Belt Tension Sensor. The size categories include empty,child, and adult. The OCM sends the Occupant Clas-
sification to the ORC to determine if a front passenger
airbag is allowed. If a fault is present, the AIRBAG
warning light is illuminated.
²ThePassenger Airbag Disabled (PAD) Indicator
Lightindicates to the driver and passenger when the
airbag is turned OFF. In the presence of a properly
seated occupant, when the PAD indicator light is
illuminated, the airbag is OFF. Also, when the Occu-
pant Classification System detects either an empty seat
or a weight less than the predetermined threshold, the
ORC will not illuminate the PAD indicator light even
though the airbag is turned OFF.
²TheBelt Tension Sensor (BTS)is located at the
outboard passenger lap belt anchor. The BTS creates a
signal based on outboard lap belt tension. This signal
is sent to the OCM to ensure that the resultant bladder

into the tire pressure display screen and flash the pres-
sure value of the tire that is low or high. This will be
displayed for the rest of the ignition cycle, or until the
C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed.
NOTE:This display will return 60 seconds after the
C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed. If a tire is
low or high, you should correct your tire inflation
pressure as soon as possible and inspect all of your tires.
Refer to STARTING AND OPERATING Ð TIRES AND
WHEELS for more details.
Once the low or high tire pressure message has occurred,
it will continue to blink until the tire pressure is cor-
rected.
2. If the spare tire pressure has exceeded the low or high
pressure allowed, the TPM system will display a message
in the EVIC for 60 seconds and sound a chime each
ignition cycle.NOTE:This message will return every ignition cycle,
until the tire pressures are corrected.
3. When the vehicle is moving and the EVIC cannot
receive a valid sensor signal from the tire pressure
sensors, the TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE message
will be displayed for 3 seconds along with a chime. The
display will then shift to the individual tire pressure
display screen and display dashes for the tire or tires that
are affected. If the TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE
message has been displayed, and valid sensor signals are
received, the EVIC will display the TIRE PRESSURE
NOW AVAILABLE message for 3 seconds along with a
chime. This is meant to inform you when the TPM system
has returned to it's normal operation. This will occur
when valid tire pressure sensor messages have been
received from all 4 road tires. TPM system function may
be temporarily unavailable due to external electromag-
netic interference, such as electronic devices or nearby
radio or TV towers.
