CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down until
it is approximately 5 mm above the
fender. This should secure both hood
hinge reset mechanisms.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood to
enhance pedestrian protection. If
the light does not come on as a bulb
check when the ignition is first
turned on, stays on after you start
the vehicle, or if it comes on as you
drive, see your authorized dealer.Modifications to any part of the
Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or cover.

WARNING!(Continued)
 It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.
 Do not attempt to modify any part
of your Active Hood system. The
Active Hood may deploy acciden-
tally or may not function properly
if modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any hood service.
 Drivers must be aware of pedestri-
ans. Always be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other ve-
hicles, and obstructions. You are
responsible for safety and must
continue to pay attention to your
surroundings. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)BeltAlert® is a feature intended to re-
mind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where provided
with front passenger BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts. The feature is
active whenever the ignition is on. If
the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will turn on and remain on until both
front seat belts are fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for

If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, contact the Cus-
tomer Center.WARNING!
 Relying on the air bags alonecould lead to more severe injuries
in a collision. The air bags work
with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Al-
ways wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.
 Being too close to the steering
wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Air Bag deploy-
ment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air Bags need
room to inflate. Sit back, comfort-
ably extending your arms to reach
the steering wheel or instrument
panel.
 Side air bags also need room to
inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat. AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
SENSORS AND CONTROLS
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC)
The
ORC is part of a regulated safety
system required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of
the front and/or side air bags in a
frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensor's signals,
a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, SABIC air
bags, SAB, Supplemental Driver Side
Knee Air Bag, and front seat belt pre-
tensioners, as required, depending on
the severity and type of impact.
Advanced Front Air Bags and Supple-
mental Driver Side Knee Air Bag are
designed to provide additional protec-
tion by supplementing the seat belts
in certain frontal collisions depending
on the severity and type of collision.
Advanced Front Air Bags are not ex-
pected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags and
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag will not deploy in all frontal col- lisions, including some that may pro-
duce substantial vehicle damage —
for example, some pole collisions,
truck underrides, and angle offset col-
lisions. 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 ini-
tial deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deploy-
ment will depend on the severity and
type of collision.
Because air bag sensors measure ve-
hicle 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 pro-
tection in all collisions, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag sys-
tem whenever the ignition switch is in
the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the OFF position, in the
37

ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery loses power or
it becomes disconnected prior to de-
ployment.Also, the ORC turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for
approximately four to eight
seconds for a self-check when the ig-
nition is first turned on. After the self-
check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a mal-
function in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light,
either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound if the light
comes on again after initial startup.
It also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument cluster Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record
the nature of the malfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.
Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo-
cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de-
tects a collision requiring the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of non-
toxic gas is generated to inflate the
Advanced Front Air Bags. Different
air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on the collision type and sever-
ity. The steering wheel hub trim cover
and the upper right side of the instru-
ment panel separate and fold out of the way as the air bags inflate to their
full size. The air bags fully inflate in
about 50 to 70 milliseconds. This is
about half of the time it takes to blink
your eyes. The air bags then quickly
deflate while helping to restrain the
driver and front passenger.
The Advanced Front Air Bag gas is
vented through the vent holes in the
sides of the air bag. In this way, the air
bags do not interfere with your con-
trol of the vehicle.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag Inflator Unit (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag unit is located in the instru-
ment panel trim beneath the steering
column. When the ORC detects a col-
lision requiring the air bag, it signals
the inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate
the Supplemental Driver Side Knee
Air Bag. The trim cover separates and
folds out of the way allowing the air
bag to inflate to the full size. The air
bag fully inflates in about 15 to 20
milliseconds. The Supplemental
38

Driver Side Knee Air Bag gas is vented
through small vent holes in the side of
the air bag.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags (SAB) are designed to
activate only in certain side collisions.
The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on several factors, including the
severity and type of collision.
Based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision, the
side air bag inflator on the crash side
of the vehicle may be triggered, re-
leasing a quantity of non-toxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The SAB fully
inflate in about 10 milliseconds. The
side air bag moves at a very high
speed and with such a high force that
it could injure you if you are not
seated properly, or if items are posi-
tioned in the area where the side air
bag inflates. This especially applies to
children.Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de-
ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener-
ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speedand damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact events.Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
 Cut off fuel to the engine.
 Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion key is turned off.
 Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power, until the ignition key is re-
moved or the ignition switch is
changed to OFF using the Keyless
Go Start/Stop button.
 Unlock the doors automatically.
39

In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not
deploy in all collisions. This does
not mean something is wrong with
the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
 The nylon air bag material maysometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi- cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.
 As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri-
tation, rinse the area with cool wa-
ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in-
volved in another collision, the air
bags will not be in place to protect
you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pre-
tensioners cannot protect you in an-
other collision. Have the air bags,
seat belt pretensioners, and the front
seat belt retractor assemblies re-
placed by an authorized dealer im-
mediately. Also, have the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) system
serviced as well.
Maintaining Your Air Bag SystemWARNING!
 Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to
fail when you need it. You could
be injured if the air bag system is
not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring,
including adding any kind of
badges or stickers to the steering
wheel hub trim cover or the upper
right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add af-
termarket side steps or running
boards.

WARNING!(Continued)
 It is dangerous to try to repair any
part of the air bag system your-
self. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has
an air bag system.
 Do not attempt to modify any part
of your air bag system. The air
bag may inflate accidentally or
may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any air bag system ser-
vice. If your seat including your
trim cover and cushion needs to
be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take the
vehicle to your authorized dealer.
Only manufacturer approved seat
accessories may be used. If it is
necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabili-
ties, contact your authorized
dealer. Air Bag Warning Light
You will want to have the
air bags ready to inflate for
your protection in a colli-
sion. The Air Bag Warning
Light monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo-
nents. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free, if
any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
 The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on for approximately four
to eight seconds when the ignition
switch is first turned to the ON/
RUN position.
 The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the approximate four to
eight-second interval.
 The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or remains on
while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or
any engine related gauges are not
working, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be dis-
abled. The air bags may not be
ready to inflate for your protec-
tion. Promptly check the fuse
block for blown fuses. Refer to the
label located on the inside of the
fuse block cover for the proper air
bag fuses. See your authorized
dealer if the fuse is good.
EVENT DATA RECORDER
(EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehi-
cle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to ve-
hicle dynamics and safety systems for
a short period of time, typically
30 seconds or less. The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data
as:
 How various systems in your ve-
hicle were operating;
41

Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain
on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition switch is first
turned ON. If the light is not lit during
starting, see your authorized dealer. If
the light stays on, flickers, or comes
on while driving, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedalsor impair safe operation of your ve-
hicle in other ways.
WARNING!
Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and in-
crease the risk of serious personal
injury.
 Always make sure that floor mats
are properly attached to the floor
mat fasteners.
 Never place or install floor mats or
other floor coverings in the vehicle
that cannot be properly secured to
prevent them from moving and
interfering with the pedals or the
ability to control the vehicle.
 Never put floor mats or other floor
coverings on top of already in-
stalled floor mats. Additional
floor mats and other coverings
will reduce the size of the pedal
area and interfere with the pedals.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
 Check mounting of mats on a
regular basis. Always properly re-
install and secure floor mats that
have been removed for cleaning.
 Always make sure that objects
cannot fall into the driver footwell
while the vehicle is moving. Ob-
jects can become trapped under
the brake pedal and accelerator
pedal causing a loss of vehicle
control.
 If required, mounting posts must
be properly installed, if not
equipped from the factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat
installation or mounting can cause
interference with the brake pedal
and accelerator pedal operation
causing loss of control of the vehicle.
