The cluster icon and switch indicator light
will flash when HDC deactivates due to
overheated brakes. The flashing will stop
and HDC will activate again once the
brakes have cooled sufficiently.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)

The Hill Start Assist (HSA) system is designed to
mitigate roll back from a complete stop while on
an incline. If the driver releases the brake while
stopped on an incline, HSA will continue to hold
the brake pressure for a short period. If the driver
does not apply the throttle before this time
expires, the system will release brake pressure
and the vehicle will roll down the hill as normal.
The following conditions must be met in
order for HSA to activate:
The feature must be enabled
The vehicle must be stopped
Park brake must be off
Driver door must be closed. (If the doors
are attached, then the door must be
closed. If the doors are detached then the
driver's seatbelt must be buckled)
The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade
The gear selection must match vehicle
uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill
is in forward gear; vehicle backing uphill is
in REVERSE (R) gear)
HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all
forward gears. The system will not activate
if the transmission is in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N). For vehicles equipped with
a manual transmission, if the clutch is
pressed, HSA will remain active.
Disabling And Enabling HSA
This feature can be turned on or turned off.
To change the current setting, refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
WARNING!
HDC is only intended to assist the driver in
controlling vehicle speed when descending
hills. The driver must remain attentive to
the driving conditions and is responsible
for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill
Start Assist (HSA) will not activate and
slight rolling may occur, such as on minor
hills or with a loaded vehicle, or while
pulling a trailer. HSA is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive to
distance to other vehicles, people, and
objects, and most importantly brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.

Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat belts must be worn by all occupants
including pregnant women: the risk of injury
in the event of an accident is reduced for the
mother and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.

Position the lap belt snug and low below the
abdomen and across the strong bones of the hips.
Place the shoulder belt across the chest and away
from the neck. Never place the shoulder belt
behind the back or under the arm.

Seat Belt Pretensioner

The front outboard seat belt system is equipped
with pretensioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the event of
a collision. These devices may improve the performance of the seat belt by removing slack
from the seat belt early in a collision. Preten
-
sioners work for all size occupants, including
those in child restraints.

NOTE:
These devices are not a substitute for proper
seat belt placement by the occupant. The
seat belt still must be worn snugly and posi -
tioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the Occu -
pant Restraint Controller (ORC). Like the air
bags, the pretensioners are single use items.
A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air
bag must be replaced immediately.
Energy Management Feature

The front outboard seat belt system is equipped
with an Energy Management feature that may
help further reduce the risk of injury in the event
of a collision. The seat belt system has a retractor
assembly that is designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner.

Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)

Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on others.
If you are not sure, ask an authorized dealer.
The air bag system must be ready to protect you
in a collision. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits
and interconnecting wiring associated with the
electrical 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
Driver and Front Passenger Air Bags
Seat Belt Buckle Switch
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Front and Side Impact Sensors
Seat Belt Pretensioners
Seat Track Position Sensors

Air Bag Warning Light
The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag
system whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN position.
If the ignition switch is in the OFF position or
in the ACC position, the air bag system is not
on and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bag system
even if the battery loses power or it becomes
disconnected prior to deployment.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light
in the instrument panel for approximately
four to eight seconds for a self-check when
the ignition switch is first in the ON/RUN
position. After the self-check, the Air Bag
Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC
detects a malfunction in any part of the
system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A
single chime will sound to alert you if the
light comes on again after initial startup.
The ORC also includes diagnostics that will
illuminate the instrument panel Air Bag
Warning Light if a malfunction is detected that
could affect the air bag system. The diagnos
-
tics also record the nature of the malfunction.
While the air bag system is designed to be
maintenance free, if any of the following
occurs, have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately.

The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on
during the four to eight seconds when the igni -
tion switch is first in the ON/RUN position.

The Air Bag Warning Light remains on
after the four to eight-second interval.
The Air Bag Warning Light comes on inter -
mittently or remains on while driving.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any
engine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may
also be disabled. In this condition the air
bags may not be ready to inflate for your
protection. Have an authorized dealer service
the air bag system immediately.
Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
If a fault with the Air Bag Warning
Light is detected, which could
affect the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS), the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light will illuminate on the
instrument panel. The Redundant Air Bag
Warning Light will stay on until the fault is
cleared. In addition, a single chime will
sound to alert you that the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light has come on and a fault
has been detected. If the Redundant Air Bag
Warning Light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving have an authorized
dealer service the vehicle immediately.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t
have the air bag system to protect you in a
collision. If the light does not come on as
a bulb check when the ignition is first
turned on, stays on after you start the
vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have
an authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.

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.

1 — Driver And Passenger Front Air Bags

2 — Driver And Passenger Knee Impact Bolster

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.
