PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS

INDICATOR

Your vehicle is equipped with a
Passenger Sensing System located in
the front passenger seat for the
front passenger frontal air bag, and
a passenger air bag status indicator
located on the overhead console.
Note: It is recommended that children not be
placed in the front passenger seat, even with
the Passenger Sensing System. All children
should be secured in a rear seat, including an
infant riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a

SIDE BLIND ZONE ALERT

(if equipped)

alert you to vehicles
located in your side
blind zone.

S T S
When a vehicle is detected in your
blind zone, a display will illuminate
in the corresponding outside mirror
- right or left side. If you activate the
turn signal while a vehicle is
detected in your blind zone, the
display will flash.
The system is enabled at every
vehicle startup. It can be turned off
through the Navigation system.
If the system is not functioning
correctly, you may see a "SIDE
BLIND ZONE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE"
message in the DIC, and the mirror
displays will light continuously. The
sensors, located behind the rear
quarter panels, may be blocked by
mud, ice, snow or water. Clean the
rear quarter panel and/or the
sensors with water spray. This
message may also appear while
driving in open areas with no
objects to detect. You may choose
to turn off the system in the
Navigation system until you are no
longer in wide open areas.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

(if equipped)
This feature uses
a camera located
between the
rearview mirror
and the windshield to detect lane
markings. It operates only at speeds
greater than 35 mph (56 km/h).
The warning symbol, located in the
instrument panel cluster, will
appear green if a lane marking is
detected. It will change to amber,
flash and sound three chimes if you
cross a detected lane marking
without your turn signal on.
The system is enabled at every
vehicle startup. You can turn it off
through the Navigation system. This
system may not function if the
camera is obstructed, the
windshield is dirty or the camera
cannot distinguish visible lane
markings. Snow covered roads,
bright reflections off pavement or
low sun angle into camera lens are
all conditions which may not allow
the system to function.
