Front Air Bags
This  vehicle  has  front  air  bags  and  lap/
shoulder  belts  for  both  the  driver  and  front
passenger.  The  front  air  bags  are  a  supple-
ment  to  the seat  belt restraint  systems.  The
driver front air bag is mounted in the center
of the steering wheel. The passenger front air
bag  is  mounted  in  the  instrument  panel,
above  the  glove  compartment.  The  words
“SRS  AIRBAG”  or  “AIRBAG”  are  embossed
on the air bag covers.
Front Air Bag/Knee Impact Bolster LocationsDriver And Passenger Front Air Bag Features
The  front  air  bag  system  is  designed  to
inflate  based  on  the  severity  and  type  of
collision  as  determined  by  the  Occupant
Restraint  Controller  (ORC),  which  may
receive  information  from  the  front  impact
sensors (if equipped) or other system compo -
nents.  The driver  front  air  bag  system has a
single stage air bag. The passenger  front air
bag  system  has  a  multistage  front  air  bag.
The  first  stage  inflator  is  triggered  immedi -
ately during  an  impact  that  requires  air  bag
deployment. For the multistage air bag, a low
energy  output  is  used  in  less  severe  colli -
sions.  A  higher  energy  output  is  used  for
more severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with a driver and/or
front  passenger  seat  belt  buckle  switch  that
detects whether the driver or front passenger seat
belt is buckled. The seat  belt buckle switch may
adjust  the  inflation  rate  of  the  passenger  multi -
stage Front Air Bag.

 WARNING!
Being  too  close  to the  steering  wheel  or
instrument  panel  during  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.
NEVER  use  a  rearward  facing  child
restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE
AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY to the CHILD can occur.
It is advisable to always carry children in
a child restraint system on the rear seat,
which  is  the  most  protected  position  in
the event of a collision.
Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the  passenger  side  front  seat  in  a
rear-facing  child  restraint  system,  the
passenger  side  front  airbag  must  be
deactivated.  Always  make  sure  the
airbag deactivation indicator light is illu
-
minated  when  using  a  child  restraint
system. The passenger seat must also be
positioned backward as far as possible to
avoid  the  child  restraint  system  from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
A  deploying  passenger  front air bag  can
cause  death  or  serious  injury  to  a  child
12 years or younger, including a child in
a rear-facing child restraint.

This  vehicle  may  be  equipped  with  driver
and/or  front  passenger  seat  track  position
sensors that may  adjust the inflation rate of
the  Advanced  Front  Air  Bags  based  upon
seat position.Front Air Bag Operation 
Front Air Bags are designed to provide addi-
tional  protection  by  supplementing  the  seat
belts.  Front  air  bags  are  not  expected  to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or roll -
over  collisions.  The  front  air  bags  will  not
deploy  in  all  frontal  collisions,  including
some  that  may  produce  substantial  vehicle
damage  —  for  example,  some  pole  colli -
sions,  truck  underrides,  and  angle  offset
collisions.
On  the  other  hand,  depending  on  the  type
and  location  of  impact,  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  indica -
tors 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. When  the  ORC  detects  a  collision  requiring
the front air bags, it signals the inflator units.
A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated
to inflate the front air bags.
The  steering  wheel  hub  trim  cover  and  the
upper  passenger  side  of  the  instrument
panel separate and fold out of the way as the
air bags inflate to their full size. The front air
bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to
blink  your  eyes.  The  front  air  bags  then
quickly  deflate  while  helping  to  restrain  the
driver and front passenger.
Passenger Air Bag Disable Feature — If 
Equipped
This  system  allows  the  driver  to  DISABLE
(OFF) the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
if  a  child  restraint 
must  be  installed  in  the
front  seat.  Only  DISABLE  (OFF)  the
Passenger  Advanced  Front  Air  Bag  if  it  is
absolutely  necessary  to  install  a  child
restraint in the front seat. Children 12 years
or younger should ride properly buckled up in
a  rear  seat,  if  available.  According  to  crash
statistics,  children  are  safer  when  properly
restrained in the rear seats rather than in the
front.  (Refer  to  “Child  Restraints”  in  this
section for further information.)
 WARNING!
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.
Do not put anything on or around the air
bag  covers  or  attempt  to  open  them
manually. You may damage the air bags
and you could be injured because the air
bags  may  no  longer  be  functional.  The
protective covers for the air bag cushions
are  designed  to  open  only  when  the  air
bags are inflating.
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,
air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear
your seat belts even though you have air
bags.

The SABs (if equipped with SABs) may help
to  reduce  the  risk  of occupant  injury during
certain side impacts, in addition to the injury
reduction  potential  provided  by  the  seat
belts and body structure.
When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam on
the  outboard  side  of  the  seatback’s  trim
cover. The inflating SAB deploys through the
seat seam into the space between the occu-
pant and the door. The SAB moves at a very
high speed and with such a high force that it
could injure occupants if they are not seated
properly,  or  if  items  are  positioned  in  the
area where the SAB inflates. Children are at
an  even  greater  risk  of  injury  from  a
deploying air bag. Side Impacts
The  Side  Air  Bags  are  designed  to  activate  in
certain  side  impacts.  The  Occupant  Restraint
Controller  (ORC)  determines  whether  the
deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular
impact  event  is  appropriate,  based  on  the
severity  and  type  of collision.  The  side  impact
sensors aid the ORC in determining the appro-
priate response to impact events. The system is
calibrated  to  deploy  the  Side  Air  Bags  on  the
impact side of the vehicle during impacts that
require  Side  Air  Bag  occupant  protection.  In
side  impacts,  the  Side  Air  Bags  deploy  inde-
pendently;  a  left  side  impact  deploys  the  left
Side  Air  Bags  only  and  a  right-side  impact
deploys  the  right  Side  Air  Bags  only.  Vehicle
damage  by  itself  is  not  a  good  indicator  of
whether  or  not  Side  Air  Bags  should  have
deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all side
collisions,  including  some  collisions  at
certain  angles,  or  some  side  collisions  that
do  not  impact  the  area  of  the  passenger
compartment. The Side Air Bags may deploy
during  angled  or  offset  frontal  collisions
where the front air bags deploy.Side  Air  Bags  are  a  supplement  to  the  seat
belt restraint system. Side Air Bags deploy in
less time than it takes to blink your eyes.
 WARNING!
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.
 WARNING!
Occupants,  including  children,  who  are
up against or very close to Side Air Bags
can be seriously injured or killed. Occu
-
pants,  including  children,  should  never
lean  on  or  sleep  against  the  door,  side
windows, or area where the side air bags
inflate,  even  if  they  are  in  an  infant  or
child restraint.
Seat  belts  (and  child  restraints  where
appropriate) are necessary for your protec -
tion  in  all  collisions.  They  also  help  keep
you in position, away from an inflating Side
Air Bag. To get the best protection from the
Side  Air  Bags,  occupants  must  wear  their
seat  belts  properly  and  sit  upright  with
their  backs  against  the  seats.  Children
must  be  properly  restrained  in  a  child
restraint or booster seat that is appropriate
for the size of the child.

If A Deployment Occurs 
The  front  air  bags  are  designed  to  deflate
immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
Front  and/or side  air  bags  will not deploy in
all collisions. This does not mean something
is wrong with the air bag system.
If  you do  have  a collision  which deploys  the
air  bags,  any  or  all  of  the  following  may
occur:
The air bag material may sometimes cause
abrasions  and/or  skin  reddening  to  the
occupants  as  the  air  bags  deploy  and
unfold.  The  abrasions  are  similar  to  fric-
tion  rope  burns  or  those  you  might  get
sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor.
They are not caused by contact with chem -
icals.  They  are  not  permanent  and
normally  heal  quickly.  However,  if  you
haven’t  healed  significantly  within  a  few
days, or if you have any blistering, see your
doctor immediately.
 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  colli -
sion.  The  Side  Air  Bags  work  with  your
seat  belt  to  restrain  you  properly.  In
some  collisions,  Side  Air  Bags  won’t
deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt
even though you have Side Air Bags.

situations on the following pages occur. It is
a  back  up  system  and  should  not  be  relied
upon  as  the  primary  method  by  which  the
driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The  conditions  under  which  AutoPark  will
engage are outlined on the following pages. If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver turns
off the engine, the vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark  will  engage  when  all  of  these
conditions are met:
Vehicle is equipped with an 8-speed trans-
mission
Driver’s door is ajar or in conditions where
driver  door  is  removed  an  additional
trigger would be if the driver is off the seat
(seat pad sensor detects driver missing).
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h)
Ignition switched from RUN to OFF
NOTE:
For  Keyless  Enter-N-Go  equipped  vehicles,
The  engine  will  turn  off  and  the  ignition
switch  will  change  to  ACC  mode.  After
30 minutes  the  ignition  switches  to  OFF
automatically,  unless  the  driver  turns  the
ignition switch OFF.
 WARNING!
Driver inattention could lead to failure to
place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO
A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in
PARK  by  verifying  that  a  solid  (not
blinking)  “P”  is  indicated  in  the  instru -
ment  cluster  display  and  on  the  gear
selector. If  the  "P"  indicator  is blinking,
your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added
precaution,  always  apply  the  parking
brake when exiting the vehicle.

PARKSENSE REAR PARK 
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED  
The  ParkSense  Rear  Park  Assist  system
provides  visual  and  audible  indications  of
the  distance  between  the  rear  fascia  and  a
detected  obstacle  when  backing  up  (e.g.
during a parking maneuver). Refer to “Park-
Sense  System  Usage  Precautions”  in  this
section  for  limitations  of  this  system  and
recommendations.
ParkSense  will  retain  the  last  system  state
(enabled  or  disabled)  from  the  last  ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the ON/
RUN position. ParkSense can be active only when the gear
selector  is  in  REVERSE.  If  ParkSense  is
enabled  at  this  gear  selector  position,  the
system  will  remain  active  until  the  vehicle
speed  is  increased  to  approximately  7 mph
(11 km/h)  or above. When in REVERSE  and
above  the  system's  operating  speed,  a
warning  will  appear  within  the  instrument
cluster  display  indicating  the  vehicle  speed
is  too  fast.  The  system  will  become  active
again  if  the  vehicle  speed  is  decreased  to
speeds  less  than  approximately  6 mph
(9 km/h).
ParkSense Sensors
The  four  ParkSense  sensors,  located  in  the
rear fascia/bumper, monitor the area behind
the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of
view. The sensors can detect obstacles from
approximately  12 inches  (30  cm)  up  to
79 inches  (200  cm)  from  the  rear  fascia/
bumper  in  the  horizontal  direction,
depending on the location, type and orienta
-
tion of the obstacle.
Enabling And Disabling ParkSense
ParkSense can be enabled and disabled with
the ParkSense switch, located on the switch
panel below the climate controls.
ParkSense Switch
When  the  ParkSense  switch  is  pushed  to
disable  the  system,  the  instrument  cluster
display  will  show  the  “PARKSENSE  OFF”
message  for  approximately  five  seconds.
Refer  to  “Instrument  Cluster  Display”  in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
your Owner’s Manual for further information.
When  the  gear  selector  is  moved  to
REVERSE  and  the  system  is  disabled,  the
instrument  cluster  display  will  show  the
“PARKSENSE  OFF”  message  for  as  long  as
the vehicle is in REVERSE (Not in 4L).
