SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR
BAGS
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Knee Impact Bolsters
• Advanced Front Air Bags
• Supplemental Side Air Bags
• Front and Side Impact Sensors
• Seat Belt Pretensioners
• Seat Belt Buckle Switch
• Seat Track Position Sensors
Advanced Front Air Bags
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passengeras 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 supplementing 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.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immedi- ately.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.

• If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contactyour authorized dealer.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced
Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel
or steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
located in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS
AIRBAG or AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs) located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled
SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side
impact events.
• The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts and certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”)
determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side
impact or rollover event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision.
Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags
should have deployed.

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in
a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
TILT STEERING COLUMN
This feature allows you to tilt the steering column upward or downward. The tilt
steering column lever is located on the left side of the steering column, below the
turn signal lever.
Push down on the lever to unlock the steering column. With one hand firmly on the
steering wheel, move the steering column up or down, as desired. Push the lever up
to lock the steering column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.

MULTIFUNCTION LEVER
The multifunction lever controls the operation of the headlights, parking lights, turn
signals, headlight beam selection, instrument panel light dimming, interior lights,
the passing lights, and the fog lights. The multifunction lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
Headlights And Parking Lights
Turn the end of the multifunction lever to the first detent to turn on the parking lights.
Turn the end of the lever to the second detent to turn on the headlights.
Automatic Headlights
Turning the end of the multifunction lever to the third detent (AUTO), will activate the
automatic headlight system.
With the engine running and the multifunction lever in the AUTO position, the
headlights will turn on and turn off based on the surrounding light levels.
Instrument Panel Dimming
Rotate the center portion of the lever to the extreme bottom position to fully dim the
instrument panel lights and prevent the interior lights from illuminating when a door
is opened.
Rotate the center portion of the lever up to increase the brightness of the instrument
panel lights when the parking lights or headlights are on.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the next detent position to brighten
the odometer and radio when the parking lights or headlights are on.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the last detent to turn on the interior
lighting.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer is controlled by a rotary switch located on the center portion of
the control lever. The control lever is located on the right side of the steering column.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the first detent position for rear wiper
operation.
NOTE:
The rear wiper operates in an intermittent mode only.
Rotate the center portion of the lever past the first detent to activate the rear washer.
The washer pump and the wiper will continue to operate as long as the switch is held
(for a maximum of 10 seconds). Upon release, the wiper will continue to cycle two
times before returning to the set position.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned OFF, the wiper will
automatically return to the “park” position if power accessory delay is active. Power
accessory delay can be cancelled by opening the door, if this happens the rear wiper
will stop at its current position and will not go to “park”.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over accelerator operations at
speeds greater than 25 mph (40 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control buttons are located on the right side of the steering
wheel.
NOTE:
In order to ensure proper operation, the
Electronic Speed Control System has
been designed to shut down if multiple
Speed Control functions are operated at
the same time. If this occurs, the Elec-
tronic Speed Control System can be re-
activated by pushing the Electronic
Speed Control ON/OFF button and reset-
ting the desired vehicle set speed.
