WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag WarningLight in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood
to enhance pedestrian protection.
If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.
Modifications to any part of the Active Hood system could cause it
to fail when you need it. Do not
modify the components or wiring.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add an
aftermarket front bumper or
cover.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the Active Hood system
yourself. Be sure to tell anyone
who works on your vehicle that it
has an Active Hood system.

WARNING!(Continued)
Do not attempt to modify anypart of your Active Hood system.
The Active Hood may deploy ac-
cidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are
made. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer for any hood
service.
Drivers must be aware of pedes- trians. Always be sure to check
for pedestrians, animals, other
vehicles, and obstructions. You
are responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to
your surroundings. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or
death.
ENHANCED SEAT BELT
USE REMINDER SYSTEM
(BeltAlert®)
BeltAlert® is a feature intended to
remind the driver and front passenger
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided with front passenger
BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts.
The feature is active whenever the ignition is on. If the driver or front
seat passenger is unbelted, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and
remain on until both front seat belts
are fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence be-
gins after the vehicle speed is over
8 km/h, by blinking the Seat Belt
Reminder Light and sounding an in-
termittent chime. Once the sequence
starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seat-
belts are fastened. After the sequence
completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until the
respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occu-
pants to fasten their seat belts. If a
front seat belt is unbuckled while
traveling at speeds greater than
8 km/h, BeltAlert® will provide both
audio and visual notification.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is
not active when the front passenger
seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert® may be
triggered when an animal or heavy
object is on the front passenger seat or
when the seat is folded flat (for
versions/markets, where provided). It

Advanced Front Air Bags and Supple-
mental Driver Side Knee Air Bag are
designed to provide additional protec-
tion by supplementing the seat belts
in certain frontal collisions depending
on several factors, including the se-
verity and type of collision. Advanced
Front Air Bags and Supplemental
Driver Side Knee Air Bag are not ex-
pected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags and
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag will not deploy in all frontal col-
lisions, including some that may pro-
duce substantial vehicle damage —
for example, some pole collisions,
truck underrides, and angle offset col-
lisions. On the other hand, depending
on the type and location of impact,
Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy
in crashes with little vehicle front-end
damage but that produce a severe ini-
tial deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deploy-
ment will depend on the severity and
type of collision.Because air bag sensors measure ve-
hicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your pro-
tection in all collisions, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the air bag sys-
tem whenever the ignition is in the
START or ON/RUN position. If the
ignition is in the OFF position or in
the ACC position, the air bag system is
not on and the air bags will not in-
flate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the air
bags even if the battery loses power or
it becomes disconnected prior to de-
ployment.
Also, the ORC turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light in
the instrument panel for
approximately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ig-
nition is first turned on. After the self-
check, the Air Bag Warning Light will
turn off. If the ORC detects a mal-
function in any part of the system, it
turns on the Air Bag Warning Light,
either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound if the light
comes on again after initial startup.
It also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument cluster Air
Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record
the nature of the malfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light
in your instrument panel could
mean you won't have the air bags to
protect you in a collision. If the light
does not come on as a bulb check
when the ignition is first turned on,
stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.

As the air bags deflate, you may seesome smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product
of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag infla-
tion. These airborne particles may
irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irri-
tation, rinse the area with cool wa-
ter. For nose or throat irritation,
move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these
particles settle on your clothing,
follow the garment manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are in-
volved in another collision, the air bags
will not be in place to protect you.
WARNING!
Deployed air bags and seat belt pre-
tensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air
bags, seat belt pretensioners, and
the front seat belt retractor assem-
blies replaced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Also, have the
Occupant Restraint Controller Sys-
tem serviced as well. Maintaining Your Air Bag System
WARNING!
Modifications to any part of the
air bag system could cause it to
fail when you need it. You could
be injured if the air bag system is
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
right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper,
vehicle body structure, or add af-
termarket side steps or running
boards.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the air bag system your-
self. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has
an air bag system.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not attempt to modify anypart of your air bag system. The
air bag may inflate accidentally
or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized
dealer for any air bag system ser-
vice. If your seat, including your
trim cover and cushion, needs to
be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening
of seat attachment bolts), take
the vehicle to your authorized
dealer. Only manufacturer ap-
proved seat accessories may be
used. If it is necessary to modify
the air bag system for persons
with disabilities, contact your au-
thorized dealer.
Air Bag Warning Light
You will want to have the
air bags ready to inflate for
your protection in a colli-
sion. The Air Bag Warning
Light monitors the internal circuits
45

and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical compo-
nents. While the air bag system is
designed to be maintenance free. If
any of the following occurs, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
The Air Bag Warning Light doesnot come on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition is first
cycled to the ON/RUN.
The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to eight-second
interval.
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or remains on
while driving.
NOTE: If the speedometer, ta-
chometer, or any engine related
gauges are not working, the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC)
may also be disabled. The air bags
may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Promptly check the
fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to
“Fuses” in “Maintaining Your Ve-
hicle” for the proper air bag fuses. See your authorized dealer if the
fuse is good.
EVENT DATA RECORDER
(EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehi-
cle’s systems performed. The EDR is
designed to record data related to ve-
hicle dynamics and safety systems for
a short period of time, typically 30
seconds or less. The EDR in this ve-
hicle is designed to record such data
as:
How various systems in your ve-
hicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and pas- senger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or
brake pedal; and, How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by
your vehicle only if a non-trivial
crash situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under nor-
mal driving conditions and no per-
sonal data (e.g., name, gender, age,
and crash location) are recorded.
However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investiga-
tion.
To read data recorded by an EDR,
special equipment is required, and ac-
cess to the vehicle or the EDR is
needed. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle
or the EDR.

WARNING!(Continued)
If you are required to drive withthe trunk/liftgate/rear doors
open, make sure that all windows
are closed and the climate control
BLOWER switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recircula-
tion mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, de-
teriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections
could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system
each time the vehicle is raised for lu-
brication or oil change. Replace as
required.
SAFETY CHECKS YOU
SHOULD MAKE INSIDE
THE VEHICLE
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be re-
placed immediately. Do not disas-
semble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision. Rear seat
belt assemblies must be replaced after
a collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regard-
ing belt or retractor condition, replace
the belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on
and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition
switch is first turned ON. If the light is
not lit during starting, see your autho-
rized dealer. If the light stays on,
flickers, or comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the de-
frost mode and place the blower con-
trol on high speed. You should be able
to feel the air directed against the
windshield. See your authorized
dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit
the footwell of your vehicle. Use only
floor mats that leave the pedal area
unobstructed and that are firmly se-
cured so that they cannot slip out of

The BSM system notifies the driver of
objects in the detection zones by illu-
minating the BSM warning light lo-
cated in the outside mirrors in addi-
tion to sounding an audible (chime)
alert and reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” for
further information.
The BSM system monitors the detec-
tion zone from three different entry
points (side, rear, front) while driving
to see if an alert is necessary. The BSM
system will issue an alert during these
types of zone entries.Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent
lanes from either side of the vehicle.
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind
your vehicle on either side and enter
the rear detection zone with a relative
speed of less than 48 km/h.
Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly
with a relative speed of less than
24 km/h and the vehicle remains in
the blind spot for approximately 1.5
seconds, the warning light will be il-
luminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater
than 24 km/h, the warning light will
not illuminate.
The BSM system is designed not to
issue an alert on stationary objects
such as guardrails, posts, walls, foli-
age, berms, etc. However, occasion-
ally the system may alert on such ob-
jects. This is normal operation and
your vehicle does not require service.
