Then, after several more seconds, the status indicator
will light either ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol
to let you know the status of the right front passenger's
frontal airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it means that the right front
passenger's frontal airbag is enabled (may inflate).
{WARNING:
If the on indicator comes on when you have a
rear-facing child restraint installed in the right
front passenger's seat, it means that the
passenger sensing system has not turned off the
passenger's frontal airbag. A child in a rear-facing
child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if
the right front passenger's airbag inflates. This is
because the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating airbag. Do not
use a rear-facing child restraint in the right front
passenger's seat if the airbag is turned on.
{WARNING:
Even though the passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the right front passenger's
frontal airbag if the system detects a rear-facing
child restraint, no system is fail-safe, and no one
can guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under
some unusual circumstance, even though it is
turned off. We recommend that rear-facing child
restraints be secured in the rear seat, even if the
airbag is off.
If the word OFF or the off symbol is lit on the airbag
status indicator, it means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the right front passenger's frontal
airbag. See Passenger Sensing System
on page 2‑66for more on this, including important safety information.

For vehicles with the Active Steering with Enhanced
StabiliTrak option, in some cases when the SERVICE
STABILITY SYS message is displayed, a larger degree
of steering wheel input at low vehicle speeds and a
smaller degree of steering wheel input at higher vehicle
speeds may be required.
SERVICE STEERING SYS (System)
Your vehicle has a speed variable assist steering
system. Your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle may have
the Active Steering with Enhanced StabiliTrak option.
See“Active Steering” underSteering on page 5‑11.
This message displays if a problem is detected with the
speed variable assist steering system or the Active
Steering system. When this message is displayed, you
may notice that the effort required to steer the vehicle
increases or feels heavier, but you will still be able to
steer the vehicle. See Steering
on page 5‑11for more
information. Have the steering system inspected by
your dealer as soon as possible. If the SERVICE STEERING SYS message appears
because the Active Steering system needs service,
normal power steering is still operational. However,
compared to Active Steering, normal power steering
requires a larger degree of steering wheel input at low
vehicle speeds and a smaller degree of steering wheel
input at high vehicle speeds. The center position of the
steering wheel may be different. You may continue to
drive your vehicle with normal power steering, but have
the steering system inspected by your dealer as soon
as possible.
If the Active Steering system needs service, the system
may be operating in the Stability Secure Mode and the
STABILITY SECURE MODE message will display. See
Enhanced StabiliTrak
®on page 5‑7.
When certain steering faults are present, the vehicle
speed may be limited. If vehicle speed is limited, the
SPEED LIMITED TO XXX message will display. See
“Active Steering” underSteering on page 5‑11.

SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS (System)
This message displays when the suspension system is
not operating properly. Have your vehicle serviced by
your dealer.
If your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle has the Active
Steering with Enhanced StabiliTrak option and the
suspension system needs service, the Enhanced
StabiliTrak system may be operating in the Stability
Secure Mode and the STABILITY SECURE MODE
message will display. SeeEnhanced StabiliTrak
®on
page 5‑7.
SERVICE TIRE MONITOR
This message displays if a part on the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS) is not working properly. The tire
pressure light also flashes and then remains on during
the same ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Light
on
page 4‑62. Several conditions may cause this message
to appear. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operationon
page 6‑62for more information. If the warning comes
on and stays on, there may be a problem with the
TPMS. See your dealer.
SERVICE THEFT SYSTEM
This message displays when there is a problem with the
hood open and closed switches. The switches may
need to be replaced. When this message is displayed,
the theft-deterrent system will still be protecting the
interior of the vehicle, however, the hood area will not
be protected at this time. Also, the remote start function
will not work when this message appears. See your
dealer for service.
SERVICE TRANSMISSION
This message displays when there is a problem with
the transmission. Have your vehicle serviced by your
dealer.
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON

malfunction occurs. Have your vehicle serviced by your
dealer as soon as possible.
