SAFETY221
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or 
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through 
side windows in certain side impact events. 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 appropriate 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 independently; 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 mount equipment, or stack luggage or 
other cargo up high enough to block the 
deployment of the SABICs. The trim covering 
above the side windows where the SABIC and 
its deployment path are located should 
remain free from any obstructions.
In order for the SABICs to work as intended, do 
not install any accessory items in your vehicle 
which could alter the roof. Do not add an after
-
market sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add 
roof racks that require permanent attach -
ments (bolts or screws) for installation on the 
vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the 
vehicle for any reason.
WARNING!
Occupants, including children, who are up 
against or very close to Side Air Bags can be 
seriously injured or killed. Occupants, 
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 appro -
priate) are necessary for your protection 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, occu -
pants 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.

222SAFETY  
NOTE:Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior 
trim, but they will open during air bag deployment. Rollover Events
Side Air Bags and seat belt pretensioners are 
designed to activate in certain rollover events. The 
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines 
whether deployment in a particular rollover event 
is appropriate, based on the severity and type of 
collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good 
indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags and seat 
belt pretensioners should have deployed.
The Side Air Bags and seat belt pretensioners will 
not deploy in all rollover events. The rollover 
sensing system determines if a rollover event may 
be in progress and whether deployment is 
appropriate. In the event the vehicle experiences a 
rollover or near rollover event, and deployment is 
appropriate, the rollover sensing system will deploy 
the side air bags and seat belt pretensioners on 
both sides of the vehicle.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or 
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through 
side windows in certain rollover or side impact 
events.

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 collision. 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.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE307
Inflation pressures specified on the placard are 
always “cold tire inflation pressure”. Cold tire 
inflation pressure is defined as the tire pressure 
after the vehicle has not been driven for at least 
three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) 
after sitting for a minimum of three hours. The cold 
tire inflation pressure must not exceed the 
maximum inflation pressure molded into the tire 
sidewall.
Check tire pressures more often if subject to a 
wide range of outdoor temperatures, as tire 
pressures vary with temperature changes.
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi 
(7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature change. 
Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure 
inside a garage, especially in the Winter.
Example: If garage temperature = 68°F (20°C) 
and the outside temperature = 32°F (0°C) then 
the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased 
by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for 
every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature 
condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 
40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce this 
normal pressure build-up or your tire pressure will 
be too low.
Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation 
The manufacturer advocates driving at safe 
speeds and within posted speed limits. Where 
speed limits or conditions are such that the vehicle 
can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct 
tire inflation pressure is very important. Increased 
tire pressure and reduced vehicle loading may be 
required for high-speed vehicle operation. Refer to 
an authorized tire dealer or original equipment 
vehicle dealer for recommended safe operating 
speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
Radial Ply Tires 
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be repaired if 
it meets the following criteria:
The tire has not been driven on when flat.
The damage is only on the tread section of your 
tire (sidewall damage is not repairable).
The puncture is no greater than ¼ of an 
inch (6 mm).
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs 
and additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have 
experienced a loss of pressure should be replaced 
immediately with another Run Flat tire of identical 
size and service description (Load Index and 
Speed Symbol). Replace the tire pressure sensor 
as well as it is not designed to be reused.
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive 
50 miles (80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h) after a 
rapid loss of inflation pressure. This rapid loss of 
inflation is referred to as the Run Flat mode. A Run 
Flat mode occurs when the tire inflation pressure 
is/or below 14 psi (96 kPa). Once a Run Flat tire 
reaches the Run Flat mode it has limited driving 
capabilities and needs to be replaced immediately. 
A Run Flat tire is not repairable. When a Run Flat 
tire is changed after driving with an underinflated 
tire condition, please replace the TPMS sensor as 
WARNING!
High speed driving with your vehicle under 
maximum load is dangerous. The added strain 
on your tires could cause them to fail. You could 
have a serious collision. Do not drive a vehicle 
loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous 
speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires 
on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle 
poorly. The instability could cause a collision. 
Always use radial ply tires in sets of four. 
Never combine them with other types of tires.

it is not designed to be reused when driven under 
a Run Flat mode 14 psi (96 kPa) condition.
NOTE:TPMS sensor must be replaced after driving the 
vehicle on a flat tire condition.
It is not recommended to drive a vehicle loaded at 
full capacity or to tow a trailer while a tire is in the 
Run Flat mode.
For more information  Ú page 201.
Tire Spinning 
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions, 
do not spin your vehicle's wheels above 30 mph 
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds 
continuously without stopping  Ú page 262.
Tread Wear Indicators 
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment 
tires to help you in determining when your tires 
should be replaced.
Tire Tread
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the 
tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the 
tread depth becomes 1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm). 
When the tread is worn to the tread wear 
indicators, the tire should be replaced  
Ú page 309.
Life Of Tire  
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying 
factors including, but not limited to:
Driving style.
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pres -
sures can cause uneven wear patterns to 
develop across the tire tread. These abnormal 
wear patterns will reduce tread life, resulting in 
the need for earlier tire replacement.
Distance driven.
Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of
V or higher, and Summer tires typically have a 
reduced tread life. Rotation of these tires per 
the vehicle scheduled maintenance is highly 
recommended.
NOTE:The Wheel Valve Stem must be replaced as well 
when installing new tires due to wear and tear in 
existing tires.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces 
generated by excessive wheel speeds may 
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could 
explode and injure someone. Do not spin your 
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) 
for more than 30 seconds continuously when 
you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a 
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.1 — Worn Tire
2 — New TireWARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after 
six years, regardless of the remaining tread. 
Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden 
tire failure. You could lose control and have a 
collision resulting in serious injury or death.
