• The readiness light will either flash or
stay lit.
• A series of five beeps will be heard. The
tone pattern will repeat periodically
until the problem, the light or both are
repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system and deployable hood
system serviced at an authorized dealer
immediately. Unless serviced, the system
may not function properly in the event of
a crash.
The seatbelt pretensioners and the front
airbag supplemental restraint system are
designed to activate when the vehicle
sustains frontal deceleration sufficient to
cause the restraints control module to
deploy a safety device.
The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners
or front airbags did not activate for both
front seat occupants in a crash, or the
deployable hood system did not activate
in a pedestrian crash does not mean that
something is wrong with the system.
Rather, it means the restraints control
module determined the accident
conditions (crash severity, belt usage)
were not appropriate to activate these
safety devices.
• The design of the front airbags is to
activate only in frontal and near-frontal
crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or
rear impacts unless the crash causes
sufficient frontal deceleration).
• The seatbelt pretensioners are
designed to activate in frontal,
near-frontal and side crashes.
• The knee airbag(s) may deploy based
on crash severity and occupant
conditions.
• The design of the side airbags is to
inflate in certain side crashes. The
design of the side curtain airbags is to
inflate in certain side impact crashes
and when a certain likelihood of
rollover is detected by the rollover
sensor. Side airbags and the side
curtain airbags may activate in other
types of crashes if the vehicle
experiences sufficient sideways motion
or deformation, or rollover likelihood.
• The deployable hood system is
designed to activate in a pedestrian
impact between the speeds of about
20 km/h and 50 km/h. Events similar
to a pedestrian impact may deploy the
hood system. See Pedestrian
Protection (page 27).
