WARNING!
The belt and retractor assemblymust be replaced if the seat belt
assembly Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not
working properly when checked
according to the procedures in the
Service Manual.
Failure to replace the belt and retractor assembly could increase
the risk of injury in collisions.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
FEATURE
This vehicle has a safety belt system
with an Energy Management feature
in the front seating positions to help
further reduce the risk of injury in the
event of a head-on collision.
This safety belt system has a retractor
assembly that is designed to release
webbing in a controlled manner. This
feature is designed to help reduce the
belt force acting on the occupant’s
chest.
SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONERS
The seat belts for both front seating
positions are equipped with preten-
sioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the
event of a collision. These devices may
improve the performance of the seat
belt by assuring that the belt is tight
about the occupant early in a colli-
sion. Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
NOTE: These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt
placement by the occupant. The
seat belt still must be worn snugly
and positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC). Like the air bags, the preten-
sioners are single use items. A de-
ployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.
ACTIVE HOOD SYSTEM
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Active Hood system is intended to
enhance pedestrian protection by el-
evating the vehicle’s hood upon an im-
pact with a pedestrian or other object.
The system is automatically activated
when the vehicle is moving within a
specified vehicle speed range. In order
to detect a range of pedestrians, other
objects that are impacted may result in
an Active Hood deployment.
Deployment Sensors And Controls
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) determines if deployment of
the actuators in a frontal impact is
required. Based on the impact sensors
signals, the ORC determines when to
deploy the actuators. The impact sen-
sors are located within the front bum-
per area.
The ORC monitors the readiness of
the electronic parts of the Active Hood
system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
35

belt buckle switch that detects
whether the driver or front passenger
seat belt is fastened. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation
rate of the Advanced Front Air Bags.
This vehicle is equipped with Supple-
mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Cur-
tains (SABIC) to protect the driver,
front, and rear passengers sitting next
to a window. The SABIC air bags are
located above the side windows and
their covers are also labeled: SRS
AIRBAG.
This vehicle is equipped with Supple-
mental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB) to provide enhanced protection
for an occupant during a side impact.
The Supplemental Seat-Mounted
Side Air Bags are located in the out-
board side of the front seats.
NOTE:
Air Bag covers may not be obvi-ous in the interior trim, but they
will open during air bag deploy-
ment. After any accident, the vehicle
should be taken to an autho-
rized dealer immediately.
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the following air bag system compo-
nents:
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
Air Bag Warning Light
Steering Wheel and Column
Instrument Panel
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag
Knee Impact Bolsters
Driver Advanced Front Air Bag
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflat- able Curtains (SABIC)
Front and Side Impact Sensors (for versions/markets, where provided) Front Seat Belt Pretensioners, Seat
Belt Buckle Switch
Advanced Front Air Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system
has multistage driver and front pas-
senger air bags. This system provides
output appropriate to the severity and
type of collision as determined by the
Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC), which may receive informa-
tion from the front impact sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. This low
output is used in less severe collisions.
A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
WARNING!
No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instru-
ment panel, because any such ob-
jects could cause harm if the ve-
hicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to
inflate.

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
