Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing air bag
deployment, if the communication network re-
mains 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 follow-
ing functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as
long as the battery has power or until the
ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Re-
sponse System functions after an event, the
ignition switch must be changed from IGN ON to
IGN OFF.
If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to
deflate immediately after deployment.

NOTE:
Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in
all collisions. This does not mean some-
thing is wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air
bags, any or all of the following may occur:
• The nylon air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the
driver and front passenger 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.
They are not caused by contact with chemi-
cals. They are not permanent and normally
heal quickly. However, if you haven't healed
significantly within a few days, or if you have
any blistering, see your doctor immediately.
• As the air bags deflate you may see some
smoke-like particles. The particles are a nor-
mal by-product of the process that generates
the non-toxic gas used for air bag inflation.
These airborne particles may irritate the skin,
eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye
irritation, rinse the area with cool water. For
nose or throat irritation, move to fresh air. If
the irritation continues, see your doctor. If
these particles settle on your clothing, follow
the garment manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags
have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
WARNING!
• Deployed air bags and seat belt preten-
sioners cannot protect you in another col-
lision. Have the air bags, seat belt preten-
sioner, and seat belt retractor assembly
replaced by an authorized dealer immedi-
ately. Also, have the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) system serviced as well.
