The Personal Safety System provides
an improved overall level of frontal
crash protection to front seat
occupants and is designed to help
further reduce the risk of
airbag-related injuries. The system is
able to analyze different occupant
conditions and crash severity before
activating the appropriate safety
devices to help better protect a range
of occupants in a variety of frontal
crash situations.
Your vehicle's Personal Safety System
consists of:
•
Driver and passenger dual-stage
airbag supplemental restraints.
• Front outboard safety belts with
pretensioners, energy
management retractors (first row
only), and safety belt usage
sensors.
• Driver ’s seat position sensor.
• Front passenger sensing system.
• Passenger airbag off and on
indicator lamp.
• Front crash severity sensors.
• Restraints control module with
impact and safing sensors.
• Restraint system warning light and
backup tone.
• The electrical wiring for the
airbags, crash sensor(s), safety
belt pretensioners, front safety belt
usage sensors, driver seat position
sensor, front passenger sensing
system, and indicator lights. How Does the Personal Safety
System Work?
The Personal Safety System can
adapt the deployment strategy of
your vehicle
’s safety devices
according to crash severity and
occupant conditions. A collection of
crash and occupant sensors provides
information to the restraints control
module. During a crash, the restraints
control module may activate the
safety belt pretensioners and may
activate either one or both stages of
the dual-stage airbag supplemental
restraints based on crash severity and
occupant conditions.

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 the headlights of an
approaching vehicle, the tail lamps of
the preceding vehicle 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 a
blockage. A clear view of the road is
required for proper system operation.
Have any windshield damage in the
area of the camera ’s field-of-view
repaired.
Note: If the system detects a blockage
such as bird droppings, bug splatter,
snow or ice, and you do not observe
changes, the system will go into low
beam mode until you clear the
blockage. 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 performance
of the automatic high beam system .
However, in cold or inclement weather
conditions, you will notice a decrease
in the availability of the high beam
system, especially at start up. If you
want to change the beam state
independently of the system, you may
switch the high beams on or off using
the multifunction switch. Automatic
control will resume when conditions
are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height such as using much larger tires,
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions 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
• 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:
• the system detects the headlamps
of an approaching vehicle or the
tail lamps of a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below
16 mph
(25 km/h)
• the ambient light level is high
enough that high beams are not
required

•
Accessory Power — Indicates electrical power demands from your vehicle ’s
accessory systems. Accessories use power but do not contribute to propelling
the vehicle. The gauge separately displays power demand in kilowatts (kW)
for climate and other accessories.
Climate includes the power being used by high voltage climate control
components such as the electric A/C compressor and the electric heater (Energi
vehicles only)
Other includes all power being used by the low voltage accessories (cabin fans,
headlights, heated seats, etc.).
• Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range
(between H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal
range, the level indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle
and let the engine cool.
The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to
indicate the following:
• Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough
to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously
when the indicator is blue.
Note: During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but
the gasoline engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing
the engine to be cooler during the silent key start period. This is normal operation
and does not indicate a problem with your vehicle. After the first engine start the
indicator will turn white when the gasoline engine is warm enough to turn off.
• White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough
to allow EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough,
it is possible that the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system
warm. In this case, the thermometer indicator will revert back to blue.
• Tach rpm x 1000 — When the gasoline engine is running, the tachometer
gauge displays the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). When the
vehicle is operating on battery power only with the engine off, EV is displayed
and the tachometer is greyed out.
Note: The trip data, and average fuel economy cannot be reset in MyView.
