system whenever the ignition switch is
in the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the Active Hood system is not on and
the Active Hood will not deploy.
The EPPM contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
actuators even if the battery loses
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
Service Active Hood System
If the EPPM has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC), for
versions/markets, where provided. A
single chime will sound if the Air Bag
Warning Light comes on again after
initial startup. It also includes diag-
nostics that will illuminate the Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the Active
Hood system. The diagnostics also re-
cord the nature of the malfunction. Ifthe Air Bag Warning Light is illumi-
nated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.
In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer. The hood
hinges must be serviced and the ac-
tuator assemblies replaced to restore
system functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.
NOTE: After any Active Hood de-
ployment, the vehicle should be
taken to an authorized dealer im-
mediately.

Air Bags are not expected to reduce
the risk of injury in rear, side, or roll-
over collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions, includ-
ing some that may produce substan-
tial vehicle damage — for example,
some pole collisions, truck under-
rides, and angle offset collisions. 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 initial decel-
eration.
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 areneeded 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 switch is in
the START or ON/RUN position. If
the key is in the OFF position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition,
the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
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.
Driver And Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag Inflator Units are lo-
cated in the center of the steering
wheel and on the right side of the
instrument panel. When the ORC de-
tects a collision requiring the Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags, it signals the
51
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 thebattery has power or until the igni-
tion is cycled 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.
If you do have a collision which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see some 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.

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
If you are in an emergency and the
mobile phone is reachable:
Pick up the phone and manuallydial the emergency number for
your area.
If the phone is not reachable and the
Uconnect® Phone is operational, you
may reach the emergency number as
follows:
Press the
button to begin.
After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Emergency”
and the Uconnect® Phone will in-
struct the paired mobile phone to
call the emergency number. This
feature is supported in the U.S.,
Canada, and Mexico.
NOTE:
The emergency number dialed is
based on the country where the
vehicle is purchased (911 for the
U.S. and Canada and 060 for
Mexico). The number dialed may
not be applicable with the avail-
able mobile service and area.
If supported, this number may be programmable on some sys-
tems. To do this, press the
button and say “Setup,” fol-
lowed by “Emergency.”
The Uconnect® Phone does slightly lower your chances of
successfully making a phone
call as to that for the mobile
phone directly.
WARNING!
To use you Uconnect® Phone Sys-
tem in an emergency, your mobile
phone must be:
turned on,
paired to the Uconnect® System,
and have network coverage.
BREAKDOWN SERVICE
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
If you need Breakdown service:
Press the
button to begin.
After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say “Breakdown
service.” NOTE: The Breakdown service
number has to be setup before us-
ing. To setup, press the
button
and say “Setup, Breakdown Ser-
vice” and follow prompts.
PAGING
To learn how to page, refer to “Work-
ing with Automated Systems.” Paging
works properly except for pagers of
certain companies, which time out a
little too soon to work properly with
the Uconnect® Phone.
VOICE MAIL CALLING
To learn how to access your voice
mail, refer to “Working with Auto-
mated Systems.”
WORKING WITH
AUTOMATED SYSTEMS
This method is used in instances
where one generally has to press num-
bers on the mobile phone keypad
while navigating through an auto-
mated telephone system.
97
You can use your Uconnect® Phone to
access a voice mail system or an auto-
mated service, such as a paging ser-
vice or automated customer service.
Some services require immediate re-
sponse selection. In some instances,
that may be too quick for use of the
Uconnect® Phone.
When calling a number with your
Uconnect® Phone that normally re-
quires you to enter in a touch-tone
sequence on your mobile phone key-
pad, you can press the
button
and say the sequence you wish to en-
ter followed by the word “Send”. For
example, if required to enter your PIN
followed with a hash, (3746#),you
can press the
button and say,
“3746#Send”. Saying a number, or
sequence of numbers, followed by
“Send”, is also to be used for navigat-
ing through an automated customer
service center menu structure, and to
leave a number on a pager.
You can also send stored Uconnect®
Phonebook entries as tones for fast
and easy access to voice mail and
pager entries. To use this feature, dial
the number you wish to call and then press the
button and say “Send.”
The system will prompt you to enter
the name or number and say the name
of the phonebook entry you wish to
send. The Uconnect® Phone will then
send the corresponding phone num-
ber associated with the phonebook
entry, as tones over the phone.
NOTE:
You may not hear all of the tones due to mobile phone network
configurations; this is normal.
Some paging and voice mail sys- tems have system time out set-
tings that are too short and may
not allow the use of this feature.
BARGE IN — OVERRIDING
PROMPTS
The “Voice Command” button can be
used when you wish to skip part of a
prompt and issue your voice com-
mand immediately. For example, if a
prompt is asking “Would you like to
pair a phone, clear a…,” you could
press the
button and say, “Pair a Phone” to select that option without
having to listen to the rest of the voice
prompt.
TURNING CONFIRMATION
PROMPTS ON/OFF
Turning confirmation prompts off
will stop the system from confirming
your choices (e.g., the Uconnect®
Phone will not repeat a phone number
before you dial it).
Press the
button to begin.
After the “Ready” prompt and the following beep, say:
“Setup Confirmations Prompts On”
“Setup Confirmations Prompts Off”
