Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
protect you and your
passenger(s) in a crash, resulting
in serious injury or even death. To
help make sure the airbag
systems are working properly
after a crash, have them
inspected and any necessary
replacements made as soon as
possible.
If an airbag inflates, you will need to
replace airbag system parts. See
your dealer for service.
If the airbag readiness light stays on
after the vehicle is started or comes
on when you are driving, the airbag
system may not work properly. Have
the vehicle serviced right away. See
Airbag Readiness Light on
page 5-12
for more information.
Vehicles with eAssist have a high
voltage battery and a standard
12
‐
volt battery. If an airbag inflates
or the vehicle has been in a crash,
the vehicle's sensing system may
shut down the high voltage system.
When this occurs, the high voltage
battery is disconnected and the
vehicle is not charging the 12
‐
volt
battery or the electrical system. The
vehicle may start but it shuts down
once the 12
‐
volt battery is depleted.
When the 12
‐
volt battery is
depleted, the vehicle will not start
and the on
‐
board jump start feature
is disabled. The airbag readiness
light and/or the 12
‐
volt battery
warning light are displayed. Before
the vehicle can be operated again, it
must be serviced at your dealer.
