Advanced Front Air Bags
•This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems.The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in every type of collision.
•Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplement-
ing the seat belts.Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of
injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
•The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that
may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck
underrides, 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 deceleration.
•Because air bag sensors measure vehicle 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 protection in all collisions, and also are needed to
help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
•The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision.The Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system electrical components.
•The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approxi-
mately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to
the ON/RUN position.After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off.
If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag
Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously.A single chime will sound to alert
you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
•The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system when-
ever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.If the ignition switch is
in the OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air
bags will not inflate.
•If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or
turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center imme-
diately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled.In this condition the air bags may
not be ready to inflate for your protection.Have an authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.

•Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for ap-
proximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
•When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or sig-
nal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that pre-
vent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS pres-
sures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage.Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction
Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position.If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.If this light remains on, see your au-
thorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
•The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
•Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it
was turned off previously.
•ESC Activation/Malfunction Light can blink during a ESC or TC intervention.
