•Driver seat position sensor.
• Front crash severity sensors.
• Restraints control module with impact and safing sensors.

How does the Restraint Safety System work?
The Restraint 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/or either one or both stages of the dual-stage airbag supplemental
restraints based on crash severity and occupant conditions.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™
The system flashes the direction indicator lamps and the horn sounds
(intermittently) in the event of a serious impact that deploys an airbag
equipped on your vehicle.
The horn and lamps turn off when:
• You press the hazard button.
• You press the panic button (if equipped) on the remote entry
transmitter.
• Your vehicle runs out of power.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS
WARNING: Never place your arm or any objects over an airbag
module. Placing your arm over a deploying airbag can result in
serious arm fractures or other injuries. Objects placed on or over the
airbag inflation area may cause those objects to be propelled by the
airbag into your face and torso causing serious injury.

Obstacle Detection
When closing:The liftgate reverses to full open when it detects an
obstacle. A chime sounds three times as the liftgate begins to reopen.
Remove the obstacle to close the liftgate.
Note: Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause your
vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the
power liftgate close completely before you enter your vehicle. Before
driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar
message or warning indicator. Failure to do this could result in
unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while driving.
When opening: The system stops when it detects an obstacle and a
tone sounds three times. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.

cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time. Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion, because this may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Do not puncture the seat with pins, needles, or
other pointed objects because this may damage the heating element
which may cause the seat heater to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.
Note: Do not do the following:
