system is ready to use . The system can now
warn you if you are about to cross a known
lan e marker line.
• Not ready: The indicator light shows that
the system is turned on but unable to send a
warning. This can be due to the following:
- There is no lane marker line.
- The relevant lane marker lines are not de-
tected (for example, markings in a construc­
t ion zone or because they are obstructed by
snow, dirt, water or backlighting).
- The veh icle 's speed is below the speed need ­
ed to activate it , which is about 40 mph (65
km/h) .
- The lane is narrower than about 8
ft. (2 .5 m)
or wider than 15
ft (4 .5 m).
- The curve is too sharp .

-Always carefully follow instructions from
child restraint manufacturers when in­
stalling child restraints.
A WARNING
If, in exceptional circumstances, you must
install a forward or rearward-facing child
restraint on the front passenger's seat:
- Improper installation of child restraints
can reduce their effectiveness or even
prevent them from providing any protec­
tion.
- An improperly installed child restraint
can interfere with the airbag as it de­
ploys and seriously injure or even kill the
child - even with an Advanced Airbag
System.
- Always carefully follow the manufactur­
er's instructions provided with the child
seat or carrier .
- Always make sure that there is nothing
on the front passenger seat that will
cause the capacitive passenger detection
system in the seat to signal to the Airbag
System that the seat is occupied by a person when it is not, or to signal that it
is occupied by someone who is heavier
than the person actually sitting on the
seat . The presence of additional objects
could cause the passenger front airbag
to be turned on when it should be off, or
could cause the airbag to work in a way
that is different from the way it would
have worked without the object on the
seat .

Description of front airbags
The airbag system can provide supplemen tal
protection to properly restrained front seat occupants.
Fig. 159 Locat io n of drive r airbag : in steering wheel
Fig. 160 Locat ion of fron t pa ssenger' s airbag: in the in·
st rument panel
Your vehicle is equipped with an "Advanced
Airbag System" in compliance with United
States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) 208 as applicable at the time your
vehicle was manufactured. The safety belts
for the seats have "pretens ioners " that help
to take slack out of the belt system. The pre­
tensioners are also activated by the electronic
control unit for the airbag system.
The front safety belts also have load limiters
to help reduce the forces applied to the body
in a crash.
The airbag for the driver is in the steering
wheel hub~
fig. 159 and the airbag for the
front passenger is in the instrument panel
¢ fig. 160. The general location of the airbags
is marked "AIRBAG".
