The system consists of the following:
•
A label or embossed side panel
indicating that your vehicle has side
airbags.
• Side airbags inside the driver and front
passenger seat backrests. Crash sensors and monitoring
system with readiness indicator.
See Crash Sensors and Airbag
Indicator (page 47).
The design and development of the side
airbag system included recommended
testing procedures that were developed
by a group of automotive safety experts
known as the Side Airbag Technical
Working Group. These recommended
testing procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of side
airbags.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER
KNEE AIRBAGS
Driver and passenger knee airbags are
located under or within the instrument
panel. During a crash, the restraints control
module may activate the driver and
passenger knee airbags (individually or
both) based on crash severity and
respective occupant conditions. Under
certain crash and occupant conditions, the
driver and passenger knee airbags may
deploy (individually or both) but the
corresponding front airbag may not
activate. As with front and side airbags, it
is important to be properly seated and
restrained to reduce the risk of death or
serious injury. Make sure the knee airbags are
operating properly. See
Crash
Sensors and Airbag Indicator
(page
47). SAFETY CANOPY™ WARNING:
Do not place objects
or mount equipment on or near the
headliner at the siderail that may come
into contact with a deploying curtain
airbag. Failure to follow these
instructions may increase the risk of
personal injury in the event of a crash. WARNING:
Do not lean your head
on the door. The curtain airbag could
injure you as it deploys from the
headliner. WARNING:
Do not attempt to
service, repair, or modify the
supplementary restraint system or
associated components. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death. WARNING:
All occupants of your
vehicle, including the driver, should
always properly wear their seatbelts,
even when an airbag supplemental
restraint system is provided. Failure to
properly wear your seatbelt could
seriously increase the risk of injury or
death. WARNING:
To reduce risk of injury,
do not obstruct or place objects in the
deployment path of the airbag. WARNING:
If a supplementary
restraint system component has
deployed, it will not function again. Have
the system and associated components
inspected as soon as possible. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

While the vehicle is running and in Park (P),
press and release the button located on
the center of the instrument panel.
Activating the feature will turn on the
Police Perimeter Alert System display in
the instrument cluster.
Note:
When the feature is active an icon
will display on the instrument cluster.
Police Perimeter Alert Settings
Note: When the Police Idle feature is active,
windows will not automatically roll up.
Note: When window or door locking is
active, corresponding icons will display in
the instrument cluster.
Note: When Low mode is active, window
or door locking setting is not available.
The Police Perimeter Alert system has
three range settings Low, Medium or High
via the menu in the instrument cluster
display. Use the steering wheel controls to
adjust the settings when active.
Object Detection
Note: A pedestrian near large obstructions
such as vehicles or walls may not be
detected until the person moves away from
the obstruction.
Note: Sensor reflections from stationary
objects may cause false objects to briefly
appear on the Police Perimeter Alert System
display.
Note: Sensor obstructions such as; dirt,
mud, precipitation, repair compound,
stickers, graphics, bumper guards, trailers,
or bicycle/cargo racks - in front of the
sensors can cause system sensing
degradation.
The Police Perimeter Alert system uses
sensors located behind the rear bumper
on both sides of your vehicle. The sensors
will perform best if the vehicle is parked in
an open area without large obstructions
or walls nearby. System Error
If the system senses a Police Perimeter
Alert System fault, a warning message will
appear in the information display. See
General Information (page 84).
System Configuration
See your authorized dealer for system
configurations.
