GETTING STARTED
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 colli-
sions, Side Air Bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though
you have Side Air Bags.
This vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs). Do not 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 ob-
structions.
This vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In order for the SABICs to work as in-
tended, do not install any accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the
roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks
that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the ve-
hicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.
Do not use accessory seat covers or place objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the power
remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine whether
to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button is
pushed. The hazard lights can be deactivated by pushing the hazard light button.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or for
15 minutes from the intervention of the Enhanced Accident Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
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 or MAR to ignition STOP. Carefully
check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the ground near the
engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting the system and starting the engine.
