A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system

consists of a Fob with Integrated Key and a Wireless

Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch. You

can insert the double-sided integrated key into the igni-

tion switch with either side up.

Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)

The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates similarly to

an ignition switch. It has four operating positions, three

of which are detented and one spring-loaded. The de-

tented positions are LOCK, ACC, and ON. The START

position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position.

When released from the START position, the switch

automatically returns to the detented ON position.

Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)

12 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Fob with Integrated Key

The Fob with Integrated Key operates the ignition switch.

It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-

mitter and a valet key, which stores in the rear of the Fob.

The valet key allows for entry into the vehicle should the

battery in the vehicle or the Fob go dead. The valet key is

also for locking the glove box. You can keep the valet key

with you when valet parking.

To remove the valet key from the Fob, slide the mechani-

cal latch at the top of the Fob sideways with your thumb

and then pull the key out of the Fob with your other

hand.

NOTE: You can insert the double-sided valet key into

the lock cylinders with either side up.

Valet Key Removal

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 13

Tip Start Feature

Do not press the accelerator. Use the Fob with Integrated

Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to the START

position and release it as soon as the starter engages. The

starter motor will continue to run, and it will disengage

automatically when the engine is running.

Ignition Key Removal

Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn the key to the LOCK

position and then remove the key.

NOTE: The power window switches, radio, power

sunroof (if equipped), and power outlets will remain

active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is

turned to the LOCK position. Opening either front door

will cancel this feature. The time for this feature is

programmable. Refer to “Delay Power Off to Accessories

Until Exit,” under “Personal Settings (Customer Pro-

grammable Features),” under “Electronic Vehicle Infor-

mation Center (EVIC)” in Section 4.

WARNING!

Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving

unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a

number of reasons. A child or others could be seri-

ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the

ignition. A child could operate power windows,

other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always

remove key from the ignition and lock all doors

when leaving the vehicle unattended.

14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

If you open the driver’s door and the key is in the

ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the

key.

NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds

when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or ACC

position.

SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM姞

The Sentry Key prevents unauthorized vehicle opera-威

tion by disabling the engine. The system does not need to

be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless

of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses the factory-mated Fob with Integrated

Key and Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to prevent unau-

thorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only fobs that are

programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and

operate the vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in

two seconds if an invalid fob is used to start the engine.

After turning the ignition switch to the ON position, the

Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will turn on for

three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on

after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem

with the electronics. In addition, if the light begins to

flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone used

an invalid fob to start the engine. Either of these condi-

tions will result in the engine being shut off after two

seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light turns on

during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for

longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in

the electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle ser-

viced as soon as possible.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15

NOTE:

•

The Sentry Key Immobilizer System is not compat-威

ible with aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of

these systems may result in vehicle starting problems

and loss of security protection.

•

Exxon/Mobil SpeedPass™, additional fobs, or any

other transponder-equipped components on the same

key chain cause a fault unless the additionalwill not

part is being used tophysically held against the fob

start the vehicle. Cell phones, pagers, or other RF

electronics will not cause interference with this system.

All of the fobs provided with your new vehicle have been

programmed to the vehicle electronics.

Replacement Keys

NOTE: Only fobs that are programmed to the vehicle

electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.

Once a fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be

programmed to any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

Always remove the Sentry Key from the vehicle and威

lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided

with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN).

Keep the PIN in a secure location. This number is

required for authorized dealer replacement of fobs. Du-

plication of fobs may be performed at an authorized

dealer or by using the Customer Key Programming

16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

procedure. This procedure consists of programming a

blank fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank fob is one

that has never been programmed.

NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer威

System serviced, bring all vehicle fobs with you to the

authorized dealer.

Customer Sentry Key (Fob) Programming姞

If you have two valid Sentry Keys , you can program威

new Sentry Keys to the system by performing the威

following steps:

1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch and

turn the ignition switch to the ON position for at least

three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Turn the

ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the first

key.

2. Insert the second valid key and turn the ignition

switch to the ON position within 15 seconds. After 10

seconds, a chime will sound and the Vehicle Security

Alarm Indicator Light will begin to flash. Turn the

ignition switch OFF and remove the second key.

3. Insert a blank Sentry Key into the ignition switch and威

turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 60

seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime will sound and

the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will stop

flashing, turn on again for three seconds, and then turn

off.

The new Sentry Key is programmed. 威The Keyless Entry

Transmitter will also be programmed during this pro-

cedure.

Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys. If you

do not have a programmed Sentry Key , contact your威

authorized dealer for details.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 17

2

NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized

dealer to have all remaining keys erased from the sys-

tem’s memory. This will prevent the lost key from

starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be

reprogrammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an

authorized dealer at the time of service to be repro-

grammed.

General Information

The Sentry Key System complies with FCC rules Part 15威

and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is

subject to the following conditions:

•

This device may not cause harmful interference.

•

This device must accept any interference that may be

received, including interference that may cause undes-

ired operation.

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The Vehicle Security Alarm system monitors the vehicle

doors for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for

unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm,

the system will prevent the vehicle from starting and

provide the following audible and visible signals: the

horn will pulse; the headlights will flash; the park lights

will flash; and the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light

in the instrument cluster will flash.

Rearming of the System

If something triggers the alarm and no action is taken to

disarm it, the system will turn the horn off after three

minutes, turn all of the visual signals off after 15 minutes,

and then the system will rearm itself.

18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

To Arm the System

Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press

a power door LOCK switch while the driver or passenger

door is open, or press the LOCK button on the Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. After the last door is

closed, or if all doors are closed, the system will arm itself

in about 16 seconds. During that time, the Vehicle Secu-

rity Alarm Indicator Light will flash. If it does not

illuminate, the system is not arming. In addition, if you

open a door during the arming period, the system will

cancel the arming process. If you wish to rearm the

system after closing the door, you must repeat one of the

previously-described arming sequences.

To Disarm the System

Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter

or insert a valid ignition key into the ignition switch and

turn the key to the ON position.

If you open the liftgate after disarming the system, you

must use one of the previously described arming se-

quences if you wish to rearm the system after closing the

liftgate.

NOTE:

•

The driver’s door key cylinder cannot arm or disarm

the system.

•

When the system is armed, the interior power door

LOCK switches will not unlock the doors.

The Vehicle Security Alarm system is designed to protect

your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where

the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the

previously-described arming sequences has occurred, the

system will arm regardless of whether you are in the

vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a

door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the

system.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 19

2

If the alarm system is armed and the battery becomes

disconnected the system will remain armed when the

battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will flash, the

horn will sound, and the ignition will not start the

vehicle. If this occurs, disarm the system.

Tamper Alert

If something has triggered the system in your absence,

the horn will sound three times when you disarm the

system. Check the vehicle for tampering.

ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM

The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or open the

doors or liftgate.

The lights will fade to off after about 30 seconds or they

will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is

turned ON from the LOCK position.

NOTE:

•

None of the courtesy lights will operate if the dimmer

control is in the “defeat” position (extreme downward

position), unless the overhead map/reading lights are

turned on manually.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)

This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors or

activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to about 35 ft

(11 m) using a hand-held radio transmitter. The transmit-

ter need not be pointed at the vehicle to activate the

system.

NOTE: Inserting the Fob with Integrated Key into the

ignition switch disables all buttons on that transmitter;

however, the buttons on the remaining transmitters will

continue to work. Driving at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and

above disables all transmitter buttons for all fobs.

20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

To unlock the doors:

Press and release the UNLOCK button on the transmitter

once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice within five

seconds to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights will

Wind Buffeting

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of

pressure on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the

ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the

windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain

open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur-

rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with

the rear windows open, then open the front and rear

windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the

buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, then adjust the

sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting.

NOTE: If a power malfunction occurs, you can use the

emergency liftgate latch release to open the liftgate. The

emergency liftgate latch release is located behind a

snap-in cover on the liftgate trim panel.

WARNING!

•

Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison-

ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your

passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep

the liftgate closed when you are operating the

vehicle.

•

If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,

make sure that all windows are closed, and the

climate control blower switch is set at high speed.

DO NOT use the recirculation mode.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS

Some of the most important safety features in your

vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front

and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, the

front airbags for both the driver and front passenger, the

optional supplemental side curtain airbags for the driver

and passengers seated next to a window, and the optional

supplemental front seat mounted side airbags. If you will

be carrying children too small for adult-size belts, your

seat belts also can be used to hold infant and child

restraint systems.

Please pay close attention to the information in this

section. It tells you how to use your restraint system

properly to keep you and your passengers as safe as

possible.

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer

much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled

up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other

passengers or you can be thrown out of the vehicle.

Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are

buckled up properly.

Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even

on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver

and cause a collision that includes you. This can happen

far away from home or on your own street.

38 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they

can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some

of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown

from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of

ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the

inside of the vehicle. in a motor vehicle shouldEveryone

be belted at all times.

Lap/Shoulder Belts

All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with

lap/shoulder belts.

The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during

very sudden stops or impacts. This feature allows the

shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under

normal conditions. However, in a collision, the belt will

lock and reduce your risk of striking the inside of the

vehicle or being thrown out.

WARNING!

•It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or

outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these

areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

•Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that

is not equipped with seats and seat belts.

•Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat

belt properly.

•Wearing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are

designed to go around the large bones of your body. These

are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces

of a collision best.

•Wearing your belt in the wrong place could make your

injuries in a collision much worse. You might suffer internal

injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt.

Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to

keep your passengers safe, too.

•Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt.

People belted together can crash into one another in an

accident, hurting one another badly. Never use a lap/

shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no

matter what their size.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions

1. Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit back and

adjust the front seat.

2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat.

Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch

plate up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt

go around your lap.

3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch

plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”

Pulling Out Lap/Shoulder Belt

40 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

•A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not

protect you properly. The lap portion could ride too high

on your body, possibly causing internal injuries. Always

buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you.

•A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a

sudden stop, you could move too far forward, increasing

the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

•A belt that is worn under your arm is very dangerous.

Your body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in

a collision, increasing head and neck injury. A belt worn

under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as

strong as shoulder bones. Wear the belt over your shoulder

so that your strongest bones will take the force in a

collision.

•A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you

from injury during a collision. You are more likely to hit

your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder

belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used

together.

Connecting Latch Plate To Buckle

4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your

abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up

a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too

tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug

belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a

collision.

WARNING!

•A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of

internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be

at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your

abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos-

sible and keep it snug.

•A twisted belt can’t do its job as well. In a collision,

it could even cut into you. Be sure the belt is straight.

If you can’t straighten a belt in your vehicle, take it to

your authorized dealer and have it fixed.

5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is

comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor

will withdraw any slack in the belt.

Removing Slack From Belt

42 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

6. To release the belt, push the red button on the buckle.

The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.

If necessary, slide the latch plate down the webbing to

allow the belt to retract fully.

WARNING!

A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and

leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system

periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.

Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do

not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt

assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they

have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing,

etc.).

Rear Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Retractor Lock-Out

This feature is designed to lock the retractor whenever

the 60% rear seatback is not fully latched. This prevents

someone from wearing the rear center lap/shoulder belt

when the rear seatback is not fully latched.

NOTE:

•

If the rear center lap/shoulder belt cannot be pulled

out, check that the rear seatback is fully latched.

•

If the rear seatback is properly latched and the rear

center lap/shoulder belt still cannot be pulled out, the

Automatic-Locking Retractor (ALR) system may be

activated. To reset this feature you must let all of the

belt webbing return into the retractor. You will not be

able to pull out more webbing until all of the webbing

has been returned back into the retractor.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 43

WARNING!

The rear center lap/shoulder belt is equipped with a

lock-out feature to ensure that the rear seatback is in

the fully upright and locked position when occupied.

If the rear seatback is not fully upright and locked

and the rear center lap/shoulder belt can be pulled

out of the retractor, the vehicle should immediately

be taken to your dealer for service. Failure to follow

this warning could result in serious or fatal injury.

Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage

In the driver and front passenger seats, the shoulder belt

can be adjusted upward or downward to position the belt

away from your neck. Push and fully depress the button

above the webbing to release the anchorage, then move it

up or down to the position that fits you best.

NOTE: When the shoulder belt is adjusted to the full

downward position, it will not be at the bottom of the slot

in the Trim Panel. This is normal and the intended lowest

position.

Adjusting Upper Shoulder Belt

44 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

As a guide, if you are shorter than average you will

prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average

you will prefer a higher position. When you release the

anchorage, try to move it up and down to make sure that

it is locked in position.

In the rear seat, move toward the center of the seat to

position the belt away from your neck.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure

Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted lap/

shoulder belt.

1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the

anchor point.

2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate,

grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to create a

fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.

3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing.

The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the

latch plate.

4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the

folded webbing.

Seat Belt Pretensioners

The seat belts for both front seating positions are

equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to

remove any slack from the seat belts in the event of a

collision. These devices improve the performance of the

seat belt system by assuring that the belt is tight around

the occupant in a collision. Pretensioners work for all size

occupants, including those in child restraints.

NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for proper seat

belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be

worn snugly and positioned properly.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 45

2

The pretensioners are triggered by the Occupant Re-

straint Controller (ORC). (Refer to information on Air-

bags in this section). Like the front airbags, the preten-

sioners are single use items. After a collision that is severe

enough to deploy the airbags and pretensioners, both

must be replaced.

Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert姞)

If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60

seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is

greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced Warning

System (BeltAlert ) will alert the driver to buckle the seat威

belt. The driver should also instruct all other occupants to

buckle their seat belts. Once the warning is triggered, the

BeltAlert will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt威

Reminder Light for 96 seconds or until the driver’s seat

belt is buckled. The BeltAlert will be reactivated if the威

driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds

and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).

BeltAlert Programming威

The BeltAlert can be enabled or disabled by your威

authorized dealer or by performing the following steps:

NOTE: DaimlerChrysler does not recommend deacti-

vating the BeltAlert威.

1. With all doors closed, and the ignition switch in any

position except ON or START, buckle the driver’s seat

belt.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but do not

start the engine. Wait for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to

turn off and then proceed to the next step.

NOTE: You must perform the following steps within 60

seconds of turning the ignition switch to the ON position.

3. Within 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the

ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver’s

seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending

with the seat belt buckled.

46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE: Watch for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn

on while unbuckling the seat belt and turn off while

re-buckling the seat belt. It may be necessary to retract

the seat belt.

4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A

single chime will sound to signify that you have success-

fully completed the programming.

The BeltAlert can be reactivated by repeating this pro-威

cedure.

NOTE: When the BeltAlert is deactivated, the Seat Belt威

Reminder Light will continue to illuminate as long as the

driver’s seat belt is unbuckled.

Automatic Locking Mode — If Equipped

In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-

locked. However, the belt will still retract to remove slack

in the shoulder belt. Use The Automatic Locking mode

any time a child safety seat is installed in a seating

position that has a seat belt with this feature. Seat belts

that have the Automatic Locking mode feature have a

distinctive label on the webbing. Children 12 years old

and younger should be properly restrained in the rear

seat whenever possible.

How To Engage The Automatic Locking Mode

1. Buckle the combination lap and shoulder belt.

2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until

the entire belt is extracted.

3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will

here a clicking sound. This indicates the safety belt is

now in the Automatic Locking mode.

How To Disengage The Automatic Locking Mode

Unbuckle the combination lap and shoulder belt and

allow it to retract completely to disengage the Automatic

Locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emer-

gency) locking mode.

Seat Belts and Pregnant Women

We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts

throughout their pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is

the best way to keep the baby safe.

Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt

across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.

Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the

abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take

the force if there is a collision.

Seat Belt Extender

If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended and

when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if so

equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized

dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender. This

extender should be used only if the existing belt is not

long enough. When it is not required, remove the ex-

tender and store it.

WARNING!

Using a seat belt extender when not needed can

increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use

when the seat belt is not long enough when it is worn

low and snug and in the recommended seating posi-

tions. Remove and store the extender when not

needed.

Driver and Front Passenger Supplemental

Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag

This vehicle has front airbags for both the driver and

front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint

systems. The driver’s airbag is mounted in the center of

the steering wheel. The passenger’s front airbag is

48 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove com-

partment. The words SRS AIRBAG are embossed on the

airbag covers.

NOTE: The front airbags are certified to the Federal

regulations that allow less forceful deployment.

The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This

may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation

that are based on collision severity.

Front Airbag Components

1 — Airbags

2 — Knee Bolsters

WARNING!

•

Do not put anything on or around the front airbag

covers or attempt to open them. You may damage

the airbags and you could be injured because the

airbags are no longer functional. These protective

covers for the airbag cushions are designed to

open only when the airbags are inflating.

•

Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in

any way.

•

Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster

such as alarm lights, stereos, citizens band radios

etc.

This vehicle may also be equipped with supplemental

side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers

sitting next to a window and/or supplemental front seat

mounted side airbags.

If the vehicle is equipped with supplemental side curtain

airbags, they are located above the side windows. Their

covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG.

NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior

trim, but they will open to allow airbag deployment.

Window Airbag

50 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

If the vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat

mounted side airbags, they are marked with an SRS label

sewn into the outboard side of the seat.

WARNING!

•If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat

mounted side airbags, do not use accessory seat covers or

place objects between you and the seat airbags; the perfor-

mance could be adversely affected and/or objects could be

pushed into you, causing serious injury.

•If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat

mounted side airbags, do not attach cupholders or any other

objects on or around the door. The inflating seat airbag could

drive the object into occupants, causing serious injury.

•If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental side curtain

airbags, do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough

to block the location of the side curtain airbag. The area

where the side curtain airbag is located should remain free

from any obstructions.

•If your vehicle is equipped with supplemental side curtain

airbags, do not have any accessory items installed which will

alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do

not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts

or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof. Do not drill

into the roof of the vehicle for any reason.

3. Older children who do not use child restraints or

belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buck-

led up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the

shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.

4. If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front

passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the

seat as far back as possible and use the proper child

restraint. (Refer to information on Child Restraint in this

section.)

5. You should read the instructions provided with your

child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.

6. All occupants should use their seat belts properly.

7. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved

back as far as practical to allow the airbags time to inflate.

8. If your vehicle has supplemental side curtain airbags

and/or supplemental front seat mounted side airbags, do

not lean against the door, as airbags will inflate forcefully

into the space between you and the door.

9. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be

modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the

Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided in the ⬙If

You Need Customer Assistance section.⬙

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 53

NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to

need airbag protection will not activate the system. This

does not mean something is wrong with the airbag

system.

If you do have a collision that deploys the airbags, any or

all of the following may occur:

•

The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra-

sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and front

passenger as the airbags 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 chemicals.

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 airbags deflate, you may see some smoke-like

particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the

process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag

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 instruc-

tions for cleaning.

•

It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the

airbags have been deployed. If you are involved in

another collision, the airbags will not be in place to

protect you.

WARNING!

Deployed airbags can’t protect you in another colli-

sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized

dealer as soon as possible.

Airbag Warning Light

You will want to have the airbags ready to

inflate for your protection in an impact. While

the airbag system is designed to be mainte-

nance free, if any of the following occurs, have

an authorized dealer service the system promptly:

•

The Airbag Warning Light does not come on or flickers

during the six to eight seconds when the ignition

switch is first turned ON.

•

The light remains on or flickers after the six to eight

second interval.

•

The light flickers or comes on and remains on while

driving.

Event Data Recorder (EDR)

In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to

record up to five seconds of specific vehicle data param-

eters (see the following list) in an event data recorder

prior to the moment of airbag deployment, or near

deployment, and up to a quarter second of high-speed

deceleration data during and/or after airbag deploy-

ment. EDR data are ONLY recorded if an airbag deploys,

or nearly deploys, and are otherwise unavailable.

NOTE:

1. A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag

sensor detects severe vehicle deceleration usually indica-

tive of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag

deployment.

2. Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be

recorded (e.g., loss of battery power).
