VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors
the vehicle doors, hood and trunk for
unauthorized entry and the Keyless
Enter­N­Go™ Start/Stop button for
unauthorized operation. While the
Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, inte-
rior switches for door locks and deck-
lid release are disabled. If something
triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm will provide the following
audible and visible signals: the horn
will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn
signals will flash, and the Vehicle Se-
curity Light in the instrument cluster
will flash.
REARMING OF THE
SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and
no action is taken to disarm it, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off
the horn after 29 seconds, and turn off
all of the visual signals after an addi-
tional 31 seconds, then the Vehicle
Security Alarm will rearm itself.TO ARM THE SYSTEM

The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
and the battery becomes disconnected,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain
armed when the battery is reconnected;
the exterior lights will flash, the horn
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.PREMIUM SECURITY
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)The Premium Security system moni-
tors the doors, hood latch, and liftgate
for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation.The system also includes a dual func-
tion intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt
sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors
the vehicle interior for motion. The
vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle
for any tilting actions (tow away, tire
removal, ferry transport, etc).
In the event that something triggers
the security system, the headlights
will turn on and the turn signal and
side repeater lights will flash for
34 seconds. The system will repeat
this sequence for up to 8 security
violations in any mode (door ajar,
motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having
to rearm the system. At the end of any
particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.

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
several factors, including 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 several factors, including the se-
verity and type of collision. Advanced
Front Air Bags are not expected 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 is in the
START or ON/RUN position. If the
ignition is in the OFF position or in
the ACC position, 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
deployment.
Also, the ORC turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light in the
instrument panel for ap-
proximately four to eight sec-
onds for a self-check when the
ignition is first turned on. After the self-
check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunc-
tion in any part of the system, it turns on
the Air Bag Warning Light, either mo-
mentarily or continuously. A single
chime will sound if the light comes on
again after initial startup.
41

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
detects a collision requiring the
Advanced Front Air Bags, it signals
the inflator units. A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate
the Advanced Front Air Bags. Differ-
ent air bag inflation rates are possible,
based on several factors, including the
collision type and severity. The steer-
ing wheel hub trim cover and the
upper right side of the instrument
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
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 Advanced Front
Air Bags, 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 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 acti-
vate only in certain side collisions.The ORC determines if a side collision
requires the side air bags to inflate,
based on the severity and type of col-
lision.
Based on the severity and type of col-
lision, the side air bag inflator on the
crash side of the vehicle may be trig-
gered, releasing a quantity of non-
toxic gas. The inflating SAB exits
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door.

WARNING!(Continued)
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.Periodic Safety Checks You
Should Make Outside The
Vehicle
TiresExamine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect
the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect
sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.
Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for
proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation
of brake lights and exterior lights
while you work the controls. Check
turn signal and high beam indicator
lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching,
and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after over-
night parking for fuel, engine coolant,
oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gaso-
line fumes are detected or if fuel,
power steering fluid (2500/3500), or
brake fluid leaks are suspected, the
cause should be located and corrected
immediately.
