  • Page 29 GETTING STARTED Driver And Passenger Front Air Bag Features The Advanced Front Air Bag system has multistage driver and front passenger air bags. This system provides output appropriate to the severity and type of collision as deter- mined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive information from the front impact sensors (if equipped) or other system components.
  • Page 30 GETTING STARTED 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.
  • Page 31 GETTING STARTED Supplemental Side Air Bags Your vehicle is equipped with two types of side air bags: 1. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs): Located in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
  • Page 32 GETTING STARTED 2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs): Located above the side win- dows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG.” SABICs may help reduce the risk of head or other injuries to front and rear seat outboard occupants in cer- tain side impacts and/or vehicle roll- over events, in addition to the injury...
  • Page 33 GETTING STARTED 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.
  • Page 34 GETTING STARTED Rollover Events Side Air Bags are designed to activate in certain rollover events. The ORC determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular rollover event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indica- tor of whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
  • Page 35 GETTING STARTED If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any or all of the following may occur: • The air bag material may sometimes cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the oc- cupants as the air bags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to friction rope burns or those you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor.
  • Page 36 GETTING STARTED Enhanced Accident Response System Reset Procedure After the event occurs, when the system is active, a message regarding fuel cutoff is dis- played. Turn the ignition switch from ignition AVV/START or MAR/ACC/ON/RUN to igni- tion STOP/OFF/LOCK. Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compart- ment and on the ground near the engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting the system and starting the engine.
  • Page 37 GETTING STARTED Maintaining Your Air Bag System WARNING! • Modifications to any part of the air bag system could cause it to fail when you need it. You could be injured if the air bag system is not there to protect you. Do not modify the components or wiring, including adding any kind of badges or stick- ers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or the upper right side of the instru- ment panel.
