WARNING!
• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to moresevere injuries in a collision. The airbags workwith your seat belt to restrain you properly. Insome collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all.
Always wear your seat belts even though you haveairbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrumentpanel during front airbag deployment could causeserious injury, including death. Airbags needroom to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extendingyour arms to reach the steering wheel or instru-ment panel.
• Side airbags also need room to inflate. Do not leanagainst the door. Sit upright in the center of theseat.

The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in all frontalcollisions, including some that may produce substantialvehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions,truck underrides, and angle offset collisions. On the otherhand, depending on the type and location of impact,Advanced Front Airbags may deploy in crashes with
little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severeinitial deceleration.
The side airbags will not deploy in all side collisions. Sideairbag deployment will depend on the severity and typeof collision.

It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru-ment cluster Airbag Warning Light if a malfunction isnoted. The diagnostics also record the nature of themalfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Airbag Warning Light in your instru-ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags toprotect you in a collision. If the light does not comeon, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comeson as you drive, have the airbag system checked rightaway.
Driver and Passenger Airbag Inflator Units
The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units arelocated in the center of the steering wheel and the rightside of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects acollision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units.A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate

deploy the SABIC Airbags, depending on severity andtype of collision. In these events, the ORC will deploy theSABIC only on the impact side of the vehicle.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the sidecurtain airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushesthe outside edge of the headliner out of the way andcovers the window. The airbag inflates in about 30 ms(about one-quarter of the time that it takes to blink youreyes) with enough force to injure you if you are not beltedand seated properly, or if items are positioned in the areawhere the side curtain airbag inflates. This especiallyapplies to children. The side curtain airbag is only about3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when it is inflated.
Because airbag sensors estimate deceleration over time,vehicle speed and damage are not good indicators ofwhether or not an airbag should have deployed.

Child RestraintsEveryone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the
time, including babies and children. Every state in theUnited States, and all Canadian provinces, require thatsmall children ride in proper restraint systems. This is thelaw, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Children 12 years and under should ride properly buck-led up in a rear seat, if available. According to crashstatistics, children are safer when properly restrained inthe rear seats rather than in the front.
There are different sizes and types of restraints forchildren from newborn size to the child almost largeenough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child

• Safety experts recommend that children riderearward-facing in the vehicle until they are at leastone year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). Two typesof child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infantcarriers and convertible child seats.
• The infant carrier is only used rearward-facing in thevehicle. It is recommended for children who weigh upto about 20 lbs (9 kg). Convertible child seats oftenhave a higher weight limit in the rearward-facingdirection than infant carriers do, so they can be usedrearward-facing by children who weigh more than20 lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old.

Dry the brakes by gentle, intermittent pedal actionwhile driving at very slow speeds.

E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel VehiclesNon-FFV vehicles are compatible with gasoline contain-ing 10% ethanol (E10). Gasoline with higher ethanolcontent may void the vehicle’s warranty.
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms:
• operate in a lean mode
• OBD II “Malfunction Indicator Light” on
• poor engine performance
• poor cold start and cold drivability

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM – OBD IIYour vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboarddiagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatictransmission control systems. When these systems areoperating properly, your vehicle will provide excellentperformance and fuel economy, as well as engine emis-sions well within current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II systemwill turn on the “Malfunction Indicator Light” (MIL). Itwill also store diagnostic codes and other information to
assist your service technician in making repairs. Al-though your vehicle will usually be drivable and notneed towing, see your authorized dealer for service assoon as possible.

VEHICLE STORAGEIf you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than21 days you may want to take steps to protect your battery. You may:
• Remove fuse #27 in the Intelligent Power Modulelabeled Ignition-Off Draw (IOD#1).
• Or, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
• Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out ofservice (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or more, run theair conditioning system at idle for about five minutesin the fresh air and high blower setting. This willensure adequate system lubrication to minimize thepossibility of compressor damage when the system isstarted again.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION UNIFORMTIRE QUALITY GRADESThe following tire grading categories were established bythe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Thespecific grade rating assigned by the tire’s manufacturerin each category is shown on the sidewall of the tires onyour vehicle.
All passenger car tires must conform to Federal safetyrequirements in addition to these grades.
TreadwearThe Treadwear grade is a comparative rating, based onthe wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test course. Forexample, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-halftimes as well on the government course as a tire graded100. The relative performance of tires depends upon theactual conditions of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm duehabits, service practices, and diteristics and climate.
Traction Grades

Temperature GradesThe temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C,representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heatand its ability to dissipate heat, when tested undercontrolled conditions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause thematerial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, andexcessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. Thegrade C corresponds to a level of performance, which allpassenger car tires must meet under the Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A repre-sent higher levels of performance on the laboratory testwheel, than the minimum required by law.
