Instruments and Controls 5-11
Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
This vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. SeePassenger
Sensing System on page 3-20 for
important safety information. The
rearview mirror has a passenger
airbag status indicator.
When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF for several
seconds as a system check. Then,
after several more seconds, the
status indicator will light either ON
or OFF to let you know the status of
the front outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag. If the word ON is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and knee
airbag are allowed to inflate.
If the word OFF is lit on the
passenger airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger sensing
system has turned off the front
outboard passenger frontal airbag
and knee airbag.
If, after several seconds, both status
indicator lights remain on, or if there
are no lights at all, there may be a
problem with the lights or the
passenger sensing system. See
your dealer for service.
{Warning
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right

information, including important

a check to show the light is working.
The light turns off when the engine
is started. If it does not, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer.
If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving, there could be a
problem with the electrical charging

system is automatically controlling
the combination of outside and
recirculated air for best
performance.
Pollution Mode: This mode selects
recirculation when the vehicle speed
is less than 15 km/h (9 mph) to
prevent exhaust fumes from
entering the vehicle in slow moving
traffic.
To select, see “Pollution Mode” in
the Climate and Air Quality menu

covered by the vehicle warranty.
Do not stick anything to the rear
window.
Heated Mirrors: If equipped with
heated outside rearview mirrors, the
mirrors heat to help clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirror when the rear window defog button is
pressed. See
Heated Mirrors on
page 2-17.
Sensors
The automatic climate control
system uses sensors to maintain
temperatures. The solar sensor is
on the instrument panel near the
windshield, and the outside
temperature sensor is in front of the
radiator.
The solar sensor monitors the solar
radiation when operating in AUTO
mode, adjusting the temperature,
fan speed and air delivery.
The system may also supply cooler
air to the side of the vehicle facing
the sun. The recirculation mode will
also be activated, as necessary.
The outside temperature sensor can
be affected by radiant heat when
the vehicle is not moving.
To prevent false temperature
readings, the displayed temperature
will not update at low vehicle
speeds.
