WHAT IS THE PERSONAL SAFETY
SYSTEM
An advanced safety system that protectsoccupants in frontal crashes.
HOW DOES THE PERSONAL
SAFETY SYSTEM WORK
This system provides an improved level offrontal crash protection to front seatoccupants and is designed to reduce the riskof airbag-related injuries. The systemanalyzes occupant conditions and crashseverity before activating the appropriatesafety devices. During a crash, the restraintscontrol module may deploy the seatbeltpretensioners, and one or both stages of thedual-stage airbags based on crash severityand occupant conditions.

HEADLAMPS – TROUBLESHOOTING
HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS
Why is there condensation in the
headlamps?
•Headlamps have vents to accommodatenormal changes in air pressure.Condensation can be a naturalby-product of this design. When moist airenters the lamp assembly through thevents, there is a possibility thatcondensation can occur when thetemperature is cold. When normalcondensation occurs, a fine mist can formon the interior of the lens. The fine misteventually clears and exits through thevents during normal operation.
How much condensation is acceptable?
•The presence of a fine mist, for exampleno streaks, drip marks or large droplets.A fine mist covers less than 50% of thelens.
How long may it take for theacceptable condensation to becleared?
•Clearing time may take as long as 48hours under dry weather conditions.
How much condensation isunacceptable?
•A water puddle inside the lamp. Streaks,drip marks or large droplets present onthe interior of the lens.
What should I do if unacceptablecondensation is present?
•Have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
Why do my headlamps turn off when Ihave them switched on when I switchmy vehicle off?
•The battery saver turns the headlampsoff after a short period of time after youswitch your vehicle off.
