CRASH SENSORS AND
AIRBAG INDICATOR
WARNING: Modifying or adding
equipment to the front of your vehicle
could affect the performance of the
airbag system, increasing the risk of
injury. This includes the hood, bumper
system, frame, front body structure, tow
hooks, hood pins, push bar and
snowplows.
Your vehicle has a collection of crash and
occupant sensors. These sensors provide
information to the restraints control
module which activates the following:
• Front seatbelt pretensioners.
• Driver airbag.
• Passenger airbag.
• Knee airbag(s).
• Seat mounted side airbags.
• Adaptive steering column.
• Safety Canopy airbags.
Based on the type of crash, the restraints
control module deploys the appropriate
safety devices.
The restraints control module also
monitors the readiness of the above safety
devices plus the crash and occupant
sensors. The safety system displays an
indicator in the instrument cluster when it
is ready. The system sends out a tone as
a backup if it is not working. The airbag
does not require routine maintenance.
One or more of the following may indicate
a system issue:
The readiness light does not
immediately illuminate after you
switch the power on.
• The readiness light either flashes or
stays on.
• You hear a series of five tones. The
tone pattern periodically repeats until
the problem, the light or both are
repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system immediately serviced.
Unless serviced, the system may not
properly function in the event of a crash.
