Power Trunk Lid/Hands Free
(optional) Automatic opening and closing
movement of the trunk lid is driven by
electric actuators and a motorized
latch ensuring lid locking upon closing.
Power Trunk lid can be opened using
button
on the key fob RKE
transmitter and the button on the
front dome console used also for

In addition to these commands, it is
possible open and close the Power
Trunk Lid/Hands Free by simply moving
your foot under the rear bumper, if
the vehicle is so equipped with the
kick sensor option, as specified in the paragraph “Hands Free Power Trunk
Release and Closing”. In this latter
case, the lid will be opened and closed
only if the “Passive Entry” system
acknowledges the presence of the key
fob RKE transmitter within 3.3 ft (1 m)

quantity of nontoxic gas is generated
to inflate the advanced front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and
the upper right side of the dashboard
separate and fold out of the way as
the air bags inflate to their full size.
The air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger. The advanced front
air bag gas is vented through the vent
holes in the sides of the air bag. In this
way, the air bags do not interfere with
your control of the vehicle.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air
Bag Inflator Unit
The supplemental driver side knee air
bag unit is located in the dashboard
trim beneath the steering column.
When the ORC detects a collision
requiring the air bag, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate
the supplemental driver side knee air
bag. The trim cover separates and
folds out of the way allowing the air
bag to inflate to the full size.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bag (SAB) Inflator Units
The ORC unit determines if a side
collision requires the side air bags to
inflate, based on the severity and type
of collision. Based on the severity and type of collision, the side air bag
inflator on the crash side of the
vehicle may be triggered, releasing a
quantity of nontoxic gas.
The inflating SAB exits through the
seat seam into the space between the
occupant and the door. The side air
bag moves at a very high speed and
with such a high force that it could
injure you if you are not seated
properly, or if items are positioned in
the area where the side air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtain (SABIC) Inflator Units
During collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the
side of the vehicle, the ORC may
deploy the SABIC air bags, depending
on the severity and type of collision. In
these events, the ORC will deploy the
SABIC only on the impact side of the
vehicle. A quantity of non-toxic gas is
generated to inflate the side curtain
air bag.
The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the head/s of the occupant/s
seating in the outside seats from the
edge of the headliner out of the way
and covers the window. The air bag
inflates with enough force to possibly injure you if you are not belted and
seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the side
curtain air bag inflates. This especially
applies to children.
The SABICs may also help reduce the
risk of partial or complete ejection of
vehicle occupants through side
windows in certain rollover events
(because equipped with rollover
sensing).
Front and Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact
sensors can aid the ORC in
determining appropriate response to
impact events.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the
communication network and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the accident, the ORC
will determine whether the enhanced
accident response system will have to
perform the following functions:
• cut off fuel to the engine;
• turn hazard lights and interior lights
on as long as the battery has power
or until the ignition switch is turned
off;
• unlock the doors automatically;Before Starting
