•Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the ve-
hicle is moving.Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelera-
tor pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.

lowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons.A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured.Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear se-
lector.
•Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren.A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

gardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.If you remain in the vehicle and open
a door, the alarm will sound.If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.

•Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air Bags
•Child Restraints
GETTING STARTED
21
WARNING!
•Side Air Bags need room to inflate.Do not lean against the door or window.Sit
upright in the center of the seat.
•Being too close to the Side Air Bags during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
•Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly.In some colli-
sions, Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all.Always wear your seat belt even though
you have Side Air Bags.
•This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs).Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block
the deployment of the SABICs.The trim covering above the side windows where
the SABIC and its deployment path are located should remain free from any ob-
structions.
•This vehicle is equipped with SABICs.In order for the SABICs to work as in-
tended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the
roof.Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle.Do not add roof racks
that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof.Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
•Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the power
remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine whether
to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
•Cut off battery power to the motor.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button is
pressed.The hazard lights can be deactivated by pressing the hazard light button.
•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power.
•Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset Procedure
After an event occurs requiring activation of the Enhanced Accident Response System,
when the system is active, a “Service EV System” message” will be displayed on the in-
strument cluster.The vehicle is not drivable in this state and must be towed to an autho-
rized dealer immediately to be inspected and have the Enhanced Accident Response Sys-
tem reset.
