WARNING!(Continued)
Do not put anything on or around
the air bag covers or attempt to
open them manually. You may
damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional.
The protective covers for the air
bag cushions are designed to open
only when the air bags are inflat-
ing.
Do not drill, cut or tamper with
the knee bolster (for versions/
markets, where provided) in any
way.
Do not mount any accessories to
the knee bolster (for versions/
markets, where provided) such as
alarm lights, stereos, citizen band
radios, etc.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB) may provide enhanced
protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. The SAB is
marked with an air bag label sewn
into the outboard side of the front
seats.
When the air bag deploys, it opens the
seam between the front and side of the
seat's trim cover. Each air bag deploys
independently; a left side impact de-
ploys the left air bag only and a right-
side impact deploys the right air bag
only.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact
and vehicle rollover protection to
front and rear seat outboard occu-pants in addition to that provided by
the body structure. Each air bag fea-
tures inflated chambers placed adja-
cent to the head of each outboard
occupant that reduce the potential for
side-impact head injuries. The SABIC
deploy downward, covering both win-
dows on the impact side.
NOTE:
Should a vehicle rollover occur,
the pretensioners and/or SAB
and SABIC air bags on both
sides of the vehicle may deploy.
Air Bag covers may not be obvi- ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag deploy-
ment.
Being too close to the SAB and SABIC air bags during deploy-
ment could cause you to be se-
verely injured or killed.
The system includes side impact sen-
sors that are calibrated to deploy the
side air bags during impacts that re-
quire air bag occupant protection.

occupant and the door. The SAB fully
inflate in about 10 milliseconds. The
side air bag moves at a very high
speed and with such a high force that
it could injure you if you are not
seated properly, or if items are posi-
tioned in the area where the side air
bag inflates. This especially applies to
children.
Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC)
Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may de-
ploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is gener-
ated to inflate the side curtain air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure youif you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
NOTE:
In a rollover the pretensioners
and/or SAB and SABIC air bags
may deploy on both sides of the
vehicle.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion key is turned off.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not
deploy in all collisions. This does
not mean something is wrong with
the air bag system.

2. Move to the front of the vehicle and
look inside the center of the hood
opening. Locate, then push the safety
catch lever downward while raising
the hood at the same time.
Use the hood prop rod to secure the
hood in the open position.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it. Lower the
hood until it is open approximately
30 cm and then drop it. This should
secure both latches. Never drive
your vehicle unless the hood is fully
closed, with both latches engaged.WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched
before driving your vehicle. If the
hood is not fully latched, it could
open when the vehicle is in motion
and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
LIGHTS
All of the lights, except the Hazard
Warning lights, headlight high beams
and flash-to-pass, are controlled by
switches to the left of the steering
column on the instrument panel. INTERIOR LIGHTING
Interior lights are turned on when a
door or liftgate is opened, the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is
activated, or when the dimmer con-
trol is moved to the extreme top.
The interior lights will automatically
turn off in approximately 10 minutes
for the first activation and 90 seconds
every activation thereafter until the
engine is started, if one of the follow-
ing occur:
A door, sliding door or the liftgate is
left open
Any overhead reading light is left on

be in the OFF position for this fea-
ture to operate.
Dimmer Switch
The dimmer switch is located next to
the headlight switch.
Interior Lighting Off
Rotate the left dimmer control to the
off position (extreme bottom). The
interior lights will remain off when
the doors or liftgate are open.
Dimmer Control

first detent. This feature brightens the
odometer, radio and overhead dis-
plays when the parking lights or
headlights are on.
Interior Lights On
Rotate the left dimmer control com-
pletely upward to the second detent
(extreme top position) to turn on the
interior lights. The interior lights will
remain on when the dimmer control is
in this position.
Halo Lights (for versions/markets,
where provided)
Halo lights are strategically placed
soft lighting that help to illuminate
specific areas to aid the occupants in
locating specific features while driv-
ing at night.
The Halo control switch is located to
the right of the dimmer switch.
To activate the Halo lights,
rotate the Halo switch con-
trol upward or downward
to increase or decrease the
lighting.
PARKING LIGHTS
Turn the headlight switch knob
to the first detent to turn the
parking lights on. This also turns on
all instrument panel lighting.
HEADLIGHTS

COURTESY/INTERIOR
LIGHTING
At the forward end of the console are
two courtesy lights (standard dome
light has two buttons). The lights turn
on when a front door, a sliding door or
the liftgate is opened. If your vehicle is
equipped with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) the lights will also turn on
when the UNLOCK button on the
RKE transmitter is pressed.
The courtesy lights also function as
reading lights. Press in on each lens to
turn these lights on while inside the
vehicle. Press a second time to turn
each light off. You may adjust the
direction of these lights by pressingthe outside ring, which is identified
with four directional arrows (LED
lamps only).
The area around the instrument panel
cupholders is also illuminated from a
light in the overhead console (pre-
mium console only). This light is
turned on when the headlight switch
is on, and will adjust in brightness
when the dimmer control is rotated up
or down.
SUNGLASS STORAGE
(NON-SUNROOF ONLY)
At the front of the overhead console, a
compartment is provided for the stor-
age of two pairs of sunglasses.
From the closed position, press the
door latch to open the compartment.
The door will slowly rotate to the full
open position.
From this position, the door can be
fully closed or, by rotating upward
about 3/4 of the way and releasing,
positioned for conversation mirror
use.
