The airbags inflate and deflate rapidly
upon activation. After airbag
deployment, it is normal to notice a
smoke-like, powdery residue or smell
the burnt propellant. This may consist
of cornstarch, talcum powder (to
lubricate the bag) or sodium
compounds (e.g., baking soda) that
result from the combustion process
that inflates the airbag. Small
amounts of sodium hydroxide may be
present which may irritate the skin
and eyes, but none of the residue is
toxic. While the system is designed to
help reduce serious injuries, contact
with a deploying airbag may also
cause abrasions or swelling.
Temporary hearing loss is also a
possibility as a result of the noise
associated with a deploying airbag.
Because airbags must inflate rapidly
and with considerable force, there is
the risk of death or serious injuries
such as fractures, facial and eye
injuries or internal injuries, particularly
to occupants who are not properly
restrained or are otherwise out of
position at the time of airbag
deployment. Thus, it is extremely
important that occupants be properly
restrained as far away from the airbag
module as possible while maintaining
vehicle control.
Routine maintenance of the airbags
is not required.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT
SYSTEM
The system flashes the turn signal
lamps and sounds the horn
(intermittently) in the event of a
serious impact that deploys an airbag
(front, side, side curtain or Safety
Canopy) or the safety belt
pretensioners.
The horn and lamps will turn off when:
•
the hazard control button is
pressed
• the panic button (if equipped) is
pressed on the remote entry
transmitter, or
• your vehicle runs out of power.
Spin out Detection
If a spinout is detected and the hazard
warning flashers come on, the
message Spinout Detected Hazards
Activated will appear on the
instrument cluster.
Once the hazard warning flashers
have been activated, they can be
turned off by:
• pressing the hazard warning
flasher button.
• pressing the remote control unlock
button.
• pressing the remote control panic
button.
• cycling the ignition on and off
twice.

Supplementary Restraints System

CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING
Modifying or adding equipment
to the front end of the vehicle
(including frame, bumper, front end
body structure and tow hooks) may
affect the performance of the airbag
system, increasing the risk of injury.
Do not modify the front end of the
vehicle. The vehicle has a collection of crash
and occupant sensors which provide
information to the Restraints Control
Module which deploys (activates) the
front safety belt pretensioners, driver
airbag, passenger airbag, knee
airbag(s), seat mounted side airbags,
and the side curtain airbags. Based on
the type of collision (frontal impact
or side impact), the restraints control
module will deploy the appropriate
safety devices.
The restraints control module also
monitors the readiness of the above
safety devices plus the crash and
occupant sensors. The readiness of
the safety system is indicated by a
warning indicator light in the
instrument cluster or by a backup tone
if the warning light is not working.
Routine maintenance of the airbag is
not required.
A difficulty with the system is
indicated by one or more of the
following: · The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after
the ignition is turned on.
• The readiness light will either flash
or stay lit.
• A series of five beeps will be heard.
The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem, the
light or both are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an
authorized dealer immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function
properly in the event of a collision.
The safety belt pretensioners and the
front airbag supplemental restraint
system are designed to activate when
the vehicle sustains longitudinal
deceleration sufficient to cause the
restraints control module to deploy a
safety device.
The fact that the safety belt
pretensioners or front airbags did not
activate for both front seat occupants
in a collision does not mean that
something is wrong with the system.
Rather, it means the restraints control
module determined the accident
conditions (crash severity, belt usage,
etc.) were not appropriate to activate
these safety devices.

Supplementary Restraints System

From Inside Your Vehicle
Press the button on the
instrument panel.
With the Remote Control Press twice within three
seconds.
From Outside Your Vehicle Press the control button located
above the license plate. Your vehicle
must be unlocked or have the
intelligent access transmitter within
3 feet (1 meter) of the decklid to open
it.
Note:
Let the power system operate
the decklid after pressing the control.
Pushing or pulling the decklid may
activate the obstacle detection feature
and stop the power operation.
Obstacle Detection
The decklid will reverse to full open if
it detects an obstacle while closing.
Three chimes will sound as the decklid
begins to reopen. Remove the
obstacle to close the decklid. Note:
Before driving off, check the
instrument cluster for a truck ajar or
door ajar message or warning indicator.
Driving off without first checking for the
decklid or door ajar message or
indicator could result in the decklid
being left open, unintentionally, while
you are driving.
The decklid will stop and three chimes
will sound if it detects an obstacle
while opening. Remove the obstacle
to operate the decklid.
Resetting the Power Decklid
The decklid may not operate properly
and may need to be reset if:
• the battery is dead or has low
voltage
• you disconnect the battery
• you manually close the decklid and
leave it unlatched.
To reset the power decklid:
1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then reconnect the
battery.
2. Manually close and fully latch the decklid.
3. Power open the decklid using the remote control or instrument panel
button.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on
your high beams if it is dark enough
and no other traffic is present. When
it detects an approaching vehicle ’s
headlights, a preceding vehicle ’s tail
lamps or street lighting, the system
will turn off the high beams before
they distract other drivers. The low
beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic
control of the high beams is not
functioning properly, check the
windshield in front of the camera for
blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation.
Any windshield damage in the area of
the camera field-of-view should be
repaired.
Note: If a blockage is detected (e.g.
bird dropping, bug splatter, snow, or
ice) and no changes are observed, the
system will go into low beam mode
until the blockage is cleared. A
message may also appear in the
instrument cluster display noting the
front camera is blocked. Note:
Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots will not affect the automatic high
beam system ’s performance. However,
in cold or inclement weather
conditions, the automatic high beam
system's availability may be decreased.
If you want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may
turn the high beams ON or OFF using
the multifunction switch lever.
Automatic control will resume when
conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height (e.g. using much larger tires)
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor is centrally mounted
behind the windshield of the vehicle,
and monitors conditions continuously
to decide when to switch the high
beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high
beams will switch on if:
• The ambient light level is low
enough that high beams are
needed.
• There is no traffic in front of the
vehicle.
• The vehicle speed is greater than
25 mph (40 km/h)
.
The high beams will switch off if:
• An approaching vehicle's
headlights or a preceding vehicle's
tail lamps are detected.
• Vehicle speed falls below
16 mph
(25 km/h).
• The ambient light level is high
enough that high beams are not
required.
