Outside Automatic Dimming Mirror
with Curb View Assist
If the vehicle has this feature, the driver’s outside
mirror adjusts for the glare of the headlamps behind
you. SeeAutomatic Dimming Rearview Mirror with
Compass and Temperature Display on page 139.
The vehicle’s outside mirrors can also perform a
curb view assist mirror function. This causes
the passenger’s and/or driver’s mirror to tilt to a
preselected position when the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R). This feature may be useful in
viewing the curb when parallel parking.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (R)
and a short delay has occurred, the passenger’s
and/or driver’s mirror will return to its original
position.
To change the preselected tilt position, adjust the
mirrors to the desired position while the vehicle
is in REVERSE (R). When the vehicle is shifted out
of REVERSE (R), this new position is saved in
memory as the tilt position.
This feature can be enabled/disabled through the
Driver Information Center. SeeDIC Vehicle
Customization on page 234for more information.

Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the
instrument panel, which shows the airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag’s electrical
system for malfunctions. The light tells you if there
is an electrical problem. The system check
includes the airbag sensors, the airbag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic
module. For more information on the airbag
system, seeAirbag System on page 77.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will ash
for a few seconds.
Then the light should go
out. This means the
system is ready.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after you
start the vehicle or comes on when you are driving,
your airbag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light stays on after
you start your vehicle, it means the airbag
system may not be working properly. The
airbags in your vehicle may not inate in
a crash, or they could even inate without
a crash. To help avoid injury to yourself
or others, have your vehicle serviced right
away if the airbag readiness light stays on
after you start your vehicle.
The airbag readiness light should ash for a few
seconds when you turn the ignition key to RUN.
If the light doesn’t come on then, have it xed so it
will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.

Airbag Off Light
When you turn the right front passenger’s airbag
off, this light will come on and stay on to remind you
that the airbag has been turned off. This light will go
off when you turn the airbag back on again. See
Airbag Off Switch on page 84for more on this,
including important safety information.{CAUTION:
If the right front passenger’s airbag is
turned off for a person who is not in a risk
group identied by the national
government, that person will not have the
extra protection of an airbag. In a crash,
the airbag will not be able to inate and
help protect the person sitting there. Do
not turn off the passenger’s airbag unless
the person sitting there is in a risk group.
SeeAirbag Off Switch on page 84for
more on this, including important safety
information.

{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on when you have turned off the airbag, it
means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. The right front
passenger’s airbag could inate even
though the switch is off. If this ever
happens, do not let anyone whom the
national government has identied as a
member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the right front passenger’s position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front
passenger’s seat) until you have your
vehicle serviced. SeeAirbag Off Switch on
page 84, for more on this, including
important safety information.
Charging System Light
The charging system
light will come on briey
when the ignition is on,
but the engine is not
running, as a check to
show you it is working.
It should go out once the engine is running. If it
stays on, or comes on while you are driving,
you may have a problem with the charging system.
It could indicate that you have problems with a
generator drive belt, or another electrical problem.
Have it checked right away. Driving while this
light is on could drain the battery.
When this light comes on the DIC will also display
the SERVICE BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM
message. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 226for more information.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on,
be certain to turn off all your accessories, such
as the radio and air conditioner.
