•TheBelt Tension Sensor (BTS)is located at the
outboard passenger lap belt anchor. The BTS creates a
signal based on outboard lap belt tension. This signal
is sent to the OCM to ensure that the resultant bladder
pressure increase due to applied lap belt tension does
not cause a small occupant to be classified as a larger
occupant.
•TheBladder Mat and Pressure Sensorare located
beneath the seat cushion foam. The pressure sensor
sends a signal to the OCM.
The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com-
ponents that affect the front passenger airbag deploy-
ment. Correctly functioning front passenger seat compo-
nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System
(OCS) to properly classify the front passenger and calcu-
late the proper airbag deployment. Do not make any
modifications to the front passenger seat components,
assembly, or to the seat cover.
WARNING!
Unapproved modifications or service procedures to
the front passenger seat assembly, its related compo-
nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the
airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This
could result in death or serious injury to the front
seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci-
dent. A modified vehicle may not comply with
required Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS).
The following requirements must be strictly adhered to:
•Do not modify the front passenger seat assembly or
components in any way.
•Do not modify the front seat center console or center
position seat in any way.

Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wiper will operate for two wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then resume the intermit-
tent interval previously selected.
NOTE:If vehicle is equipped with the optional Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead
console, all warnings including “door”, “GATE”,
“GLASS”, and “LOWASH” will only be displayed in the
EVIC display (not in the instrument cluster). For addi-
tional information, refer to “Overhead Console — If
Equipped” in Section 3.
The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display located in the
odometer area displays the word “LOWASH” when the
washer solvent needs to be refilled. If the vehicle is not
moving, when a low washer fluid condition is detected,
the VF display will show the word “LOWASH” and thenshow the odometer/trip odometer mileage (each for 2
seconds). The display will continue to cycle.
If any other active warnings including “door”, “GATE”,
or “GLASS” are present, they will be shown in the VF
display and will continue to cycle. If the vehicle starts
moving, two single chimes will occur (one chime for each
complete display cycle). After this, the display will
continue to sequence. After fifteen “LOWASH” se-
quences, the VF display will no longer provide this
warning.
If the trip/reset button is pressed while the VF warnings
are being displayed, the VF display will revert back to
only displaying the odometer/trip odometer mileage.
Once the warning is removed from the display, it will not
return for the duration of the ignition cycle.
If the lever is pulled while in the OFF position, the wipers
will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
