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.

There is also a 12 volt power outlet
located on the back of the center con-
sole for rear passengers. This power
outlet has power available only when
the ignition is placed in the ACC or
RUN position.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use inthis type of outlet should be in-
serted into any 12 Volt outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while driving the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and fail-
ure.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can beplugged in draw power from the
vehicle's battery even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum
cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade
the battery even more quickly.
Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories or long periods of the
vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the
vehicle must be driven a suffi-
cient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehi-
cle's battery.

paired or replaced at the earliest op-
portunity at an authorized dealer or
tire service center.
5. Replace the Sealant Bottle (1) and
Sealant Hose (6) assembly at your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Refer to “(F) Sealant Bottle and Hose
Replacement.”
NOTE: When having the tire ser-
viced, advise the authorized dealer
or service center that the tire has
been sealed using the TIREFIT
service kit.
