vehicle’s  deceleration,  of which  vehicle  damage  is  only one indication. 
Repair  cost is not  a  good indicator  of whether  an  air  bag should  have 
deployed. 2- 
_I What  makes  an  air bag inflate? 
In a  frontal  or near-frontal  impact  of sufficient severity,  sensors 
- strategically located  on  the  vehicle detect  that  the  vehicle is suddenly 
stopping  as a  result  of a crash.  These  sensors  complete  an  electrical 
circuit, triggering  a  chemical  reaction  of the  sodium  azide  sealed  in the 
inflator.  The reaction  produces  nitrogen  gas,  which inflates  a cloth bag. 
The  inflator,  cloth bag,  and  related  hardware  are all part  of the  air  bag 
inflator  modules  packed  inside the  steering  wheel and in the  instrument 
panel  in front 
of the  passenger. 
How does an air  bag restrain? 
In  moderate  to  severe  frontal  or  near-frontal  collisions, even belted 
occupants  can contact  the steering  wheel or  the  instrument  panel. The air 
bag  supplements  the protection  provided by safety belts.  Air bags 
distribute  the force  of the  impact  more evenly  over the occupant’s  upper 
body,  stopping  the occupant  more  gradually. But air bags  would  not 
provide  protection  in  many types of collisions, including rollovers  and 
rear  and  side impacts,  primarily  because  an  occupant’s motion is not 
toward  the air bag.  Air bags  should  never  be  regarded  as anything more 
and  near-frontal  collisions. 
What will you see after  an  air  bag inflation? 
__ than  a  supplement  to  safety belt protection  in moderate  to  severe  frontal 
After  the air  bag  has  inflated,  it will  then  quickly  deflate.  This  occurs 
so 
quickly that  some  people  may not even realize  that  the  air bag inflated. 
The  air bag  will 
not impede  the  driver’s  vision  or ability  to  steer  the 
vehicle,  nor will  it hinder  the  occupants  from  exiting the vehicle.  There 
will  be small  amounts  of smoke  coming  from  vents  in the  deflated  air 
bags.  Some  components  of the  air bag  module  in the  steering  wheel  hub 
may  be hot  for  a  short  time,  but  the portion  of the  bag  that  comes  into 
contact  with you  will  not  be  hot  to  the touch.  The nitrogen  gas used to 
inflate  the ‘air bag  will  have  vented  into  the passenger  compartment,  and 
the  bag  will be  deflated  within seconds  after  the  collision. Nitrogen  makes 
up  about 
80% of the  air we breathe  and  is not  hazardous. As the  nitrogen

If  you  cover  the sensor,  it will  sense  that is  is dark  outside  and  your lights

Cornering  Lights 
If your  exterior  lights are  on,  the  cornering lights will come  on  when you

Underhood  Light 
~ 
Your vehicle  has  a Delay  Interior  Lighting  System (DIL). This system 
controls  power to  the  underhood  light. Just pull up  on  the  door  handle 
with  the hood  raised  and the lamp  will light  for  about 
10 minutes.  Every 
minutes.  The light  will go off  when  you close  the hood. 
__ time  the  door  handle  is pulled  up  the  light will  stay  on  another 10 
Daytime  Running  Lights  (Canada  Only) 
The Canadian  Federal  Government  has  decided  that  “Daytime  Running 
Lights”  (DRL)  are 
a useful feature,  in that  DRL  can  make your vehicle 
more  visible  to pedestrians  and  other drivers during  daylight hours. DRL 
are  required  on new  vehicles  sold  in Canada. - 
__ Your DRL  work with a light  sensor  on  top of the instrument  panel.  Don’t

It  means  you should  have your  system  serviced. 
Defroster 
To get fog  or ice off the 
windshield,  push 
the 
Defroster  button. 
The  fan  speed 
will work automatically or you can  choose  another  fan 
speed 
if you want. 
It  will  help  a lot  if 
you first  clear  any  ice  and snow  from the  hood  and  the 
air  inlet  (it’s between  the hood  and  the windshield). 
- Electronic  Solar  Sensor   

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Electronic  Solar Sensor  is part  of the  Electronic  Climate Control 
System  (ECC).  The  sensor  monitors  the 
sun’s solar radiation  by telling 
the 
ECC system  at what  intensity  the sun  is. The  ECC  uses  this 
information  to automatically  make the necessary  temperature 
adjustments.  The sensor  is located  in the  defroster  grille. 
Rear Window Defogger 
To get  fog or ice  off  the 
rear  window,  push the 
Rear  Defogger  button. 
With  it, your  rear window  and  both  outside rearview  mirrors are warmed. 
To  turn  it off,  push  the  button  again. After 
10 minutes, it  will go off  by 
itself.  To make  it go  longer,  just  push  the  button  again.

detergents  and oxygenates,  and if they  have  been  reformulated  to reduce 
vehicle  emissions. 
FUELS IN FOREIGN COUNTMES 
If you  plan  on  driving  in  another country outside the U.S. or Canada, 
unleaded  fuel may  be  hard  to find. 
Do not  use leaded  gasoline.  If  you use 
even  one tankful, your emission  controls won’t  work  well  or  at all.  With 
continuous  use, spark  plugs can get  fouled, the exhaust  system can 
corrode,  and  your engine 
oil can deteriorate  quickly.  Your  vehicle’s 
oxygen  sensor 
will be  damaged. All of that  means  costly repairs  that 
wouldn’t  be covered  by your warranty. 
To check  on fuel  availability,  ask  an auto  club,  or contact  a  major oil 
company  that  does  business in  the country  where you’ll be driving. 
You  can also write  us at  the  following  address for advice.  Just tell 
us 
where  you’re going and  give your  Vehicle  Identification  Number (VIN).
