WARNING:If the side air
curtain has deployed,the
air curtain will not function
again. The side air curtain
system (including the A, B and
C pillar trim and headliner)
must be inspected and serviced
by an authorized dealer.If the
air curtain is not replaced, the
unrepaired area will increase the
risk of injury in a collision.
Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to theAirbag readiness
section in theInstrument Clusterchapter. Routine maintenance of the
airbag is not required.
Any difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the
following:
•The readiness light (same light as used for front airbag system) will
either flash or stay lit.
•The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is
turned to the on position.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the SRS serviced
at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the system may not
function properly in the event of a collision.
S.O.S. Post Crash Alert
The S.O.S Post Crash Alert automatically flashes the turn signal lamps
and sounds the horn three times at four second intervals in the event of
a serious impact that deploys an airbag (front, side, side curtain or
Safety Canopy) or the safety belt pretensioners.
The S.O.S. Post Crash Alert can be turned off when any one of the
following actions are taken by the driver or any other person:
•pressing the hazard control button,
•or pressing the panic button on the remote entry transmitter.

The BLIS™ will trigger the alert for vehicles that enter your blind zone
from the rear or merge in to the blind zone from the side. Vehicles that
you pass, or a vehicle that enters the blind zone from the front, will
trigger the alert only after the vehicle is present in the blind zone for
three seconds.Note:For vehicles that pass through the blind zone
quickly, typically less then two seconds, the BLIS will not illuminate the
alert.
The BLIS™ consists of two radar
sensors each located at rearward of
the rear wheel hidden behind the
bumper fascia. For proper operation
do not allow large build ups of mud,
snow, and ice in this area. Small to
moderate build ups of such
materials will not hinder the
performance. Do not place any type
of bumper sticker in this area.
Note:The BLIS™ typically will not detect parked vehicles, humans,
animals, or infrastructure (fences, guard rails, trees, etc.). The BLIS™
does not function when the transmission is in R (Reverse) or P (Park).
The BLIS™ does not provide any additional warning when your turn
signal is activated.
BLIS™ Detection Limitations:Due to the nature of radar technology,
there may be certain instances where vehicles entering and exiting the
blind spot zones may not be detected. Below is a list of circumstances
that may cause non-detection:
•Debris build up on the rear quarter panel fascias
•Certain maneuvering of vehicles entering and exiting the blind zone
•Vehicles passing through the blind zone at very fast rates
•Severe weather conditions
•When several vehicles forming a convoy pass through the blind zone.

Once blockage is removed, the system will require some driving time and
detection of at least two vehicle object prior to realizing it is unblocked,
or the driver can cycle the ignition key. If blocked and the ignition key is
cycled, the system resets to unblocked. If however blockage is still
present after the key cycle, the system will sense again that it is blocked
after driving in traffic.
The following table lists possible causes and actions for this message
being displayed:
The surface of the left or right
radar is dirty or obstructed in
some wayClean the fascia area in front of
the radar, either left or right side,
or remove obstruction.
The surface of the left or right
radar is not dirty or obstructedDrive normally in traffic for a few
minutes to allow the radar to
detect that it is no longer blocked.
Note, the vehicle must be in D
(Drive) and a few vehicles must
pass so that the BLIS™ can clear a
blocked state.
Heavy rainfall or heavy snowfall is
interfering with the radar signalsNo action required by the driver.
The system will automatically go
unblocked once the
rainfall/snowfall rate decreases or
stops. Do not use BLIS™-CTA in
heavy rainfall or heavy snowfall.
Trailer tow false alerts
When towing a trailer the left and right sensor may detect the trailer
thus causing a false alert. It may be desirable to turn the BLIS™ system
off if the false alerts become annoying.
Day and night brightness
The BLIS™-CTA amber alert will automatically dim when the headlamp
switch is in PARK, ON, or AUTO ON and night time darkness has been
detected by the sun sensor.
