WARNING!
Deployed airbags can’t protect you in another colli-
sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Enhanced Accident Response Feature
If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical
system remains functional, vehicles equipped with
power door locks will unlock automatically. In addition,
approximately 5 seconds after the vehicle has stopped
moving, the interior lights will illuminate to aid visibility.
NOTE:The interior lights can only be deactivated if the
key is removed from the ignition switch or the vehicle is
driven.
Maintaining Your Airbag System
WARNING!
•Modifications to any part of the airbag system
could cause it to fail when you need it. You could
be injured because the airbags are not there to
protect you. Do not modify the components or
wiring, including adding any kind of badges or
stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or
the upper passenger side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper, vehicle body
structure, or frame.
•You need proper knee impact protection in a
collision. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket
equipment on or behind the knee impact bolster.
•It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the
airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has airbags.

Outside Mirrors with Turn Signal & Approach
Lighting — If Equipped
Driver and passenger outside mirrors with turn signal
and approach lighting contain four LEDs, which are
located in the upper outer corner of each mirror.
Three of the LEDs are turn signal indicators, which flash
with the corresponding turn signal lights in the front and
rear of the vehicle. Turning on the hazard flashers will
also activate these LEDs.
The fourth (uppermost) LED supplies illuminated entry
lighting, which turns on in both mirrors when you use
the keyless entry transmitter or open any door. This LED
shines outward to illuminate the front and rear door
handles. It also shines downward to illuminate the area
in front of the doors.
The illuminated entry lighting fades to off after about 30
seconds or it will fade to off immediately once the
ignition switch is turned ON from the LOCK position.
NOTE:The approach lighting will not function when
the gear selector lever is moved out of the P (PARK)
position.
Tilt in Reverse Feature — If Equipped
TheTilt in Reversefeature tilts the outside rearview
mirrors downward when the ignition switch is in the ON
position and the transmission is in the R (Reverse)
position. This feature provides the driver with a better
view of the ground and vehicle in the area of the rear tires
when backing up. The mirrors will move back to their
previous position when the transmission is shifted out of
R (Reverse).
TheTilt in Reversefeature can be enabled or disabled
through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
— if equipped. For details, refer to “Personal Settings
(Customer Programmable Features)” under “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this

trim panel next to the power door lock switch. A rotary
knob selects the left mirror, right mirror, or off position.

direction you want the mirror to move. Use the center off
position to guard against accidentally moving a mirror
position.

Seat, you can use your remote keyless entry transmitter
or the memory switch on the driver’s door panel to
return the power mirrors to pre-programmed positions.
Refer to “Driver Memory Seat” in this section for details.

Defrost.
