WARNINGS
All occupants of the vehicle including
the driver should always wear their
safety belts even when an airbag
supplemental restraint system and side
curtain airbag is provided. To reduce risk of injury, do not obstruct
or place objects in the deployment
path of the side curtain airbag. If the side curtain airbags have
deployed, the side curtain airbags will
not function again. The side curtain airbags
(including the A, B and C pillar trim and
headliner) must be inspected and serviced
by an authorized dealer. If the side curtain
airbag is not replaced, the unrepaired area
will increase the risk of injury in a crash. The side curtain airbags will deploy during
significant side crashes. The side curtain
airbags are mounted to the roof side-rail
sheet metal, behind the headliner, above
each row of seats. In certain sideways
crashes, the side curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle will be activated.
The side curtain airbags are designed to
inflate between the side window area and
occupants to further enhance protection
provided in side impact crashes.
The system consists of the following: •
Side curtain airbags located above the
trim panels over the front and rear side
windows identified by a label or wording
on the headliner or roof-pillar trim.
• A flexible headliner which opens above
the side doors to allow side air curtain
deployment. Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
See Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 51).
Children 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the back
seats. The side curtain airbags will not
interfere with children restrained using a
properly installed child or booster seat
because it is designed to inflate downward
from the headliner above the doors along
the side window opening.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
Vehicle modifications involving braking
system, aftermarket roof racks,
suspension, steering system, tire
construction and wheel and tire size may
change the handling characteristics of the
vehicle and may adversely affect the
performance of the AdvanceTrac system. In
addition, installing any stereo loudspeakers
may interfere with and adversely affect the
AdvanceTrac system. Install any aftermarket
stereo loudspeaker as far as possible from
the front center console, the tunnel, and the
front seats in order to minimize the risk of
interfering with the AdvanceTrac sensors.
Reducing the effectiveness of the
AdvanceTrac system could lead to an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Remember that even advanced
technology cannot defy the laws of
physics. It’ s always possible to lose control
of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input
for the conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose control WARNINGS
of your vehicle increasing the risk of personal
injury or property damage. Activation of the
AdvanceTrac system is an indication that at
least some of the tires have exceeded their
ability to grip the road; this could reduce the
operator’ s ability to control the vehicle
potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death. If your AdvanceTrac system activates,
SLOW DOWN. The AdvanceTrac Control system helps you
keep control of your vehicle when on a
slippery surface. The electronic stability
control portion of the system helps avoid
skids and lateral slides. The traction control
system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss
of traction. See Using Traction Control
(page 197). Vehicle without AdvanceTrac
skidding off its intended route.
