and the symbols for on and
off, for several seconds as a
system check. Then, after
several more seconds, the
status indicator will light either
ON or OFF, and either the
symbol for on or off, to let you
know the status of the front
outboard passenger frontal
airbag and knee airbag.
If the word ON, and the on
symbol, is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it
means that the front outboard
passenger frontal airbag and
knee airbag are allowed to
inflate.
If the word OFF, and the off
symbol, is lit on the passenger
airbag status indicator, it
means that the passenger
sensing system has turned off
the front outboard passenger
frontal airbag and knee airbag.

REDUCED
ACCELERATION DRIVE
WITH CARE
This message displays when
the vehicle's propulsion power
is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect
the vehicle's ability to
accelerate. If this message is
on, but there is no observed
reduction in performance,
proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions, the
performance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be
driven while this message is
on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
Anytime this message stayson, or displays repeatedly, the
vehicle should be taken to
your dealer for service as
soon as possible.
This message can be displayed
when the high voltage battery
charge level is low. The vehicle
is limiting power to maximize
range.
Under certain operating
conditions propulsion will be
disabled. Try restarting after
the vehicle has been off for
two minutes.
PROPULSION POWER
REDUCED DUE TO
TEMPERATURE
This message displays when
the vehicle is on, the battery
temperature is low, and when
the vehicle’s performance is
limited. The duration of the
limited vehicle performance
depends, in part, on the high
voltage battery charge level.
If the high voltage battery
charge level is relatively high,
as the vehicle is driven, the
