SOS POST-CRASH ALERT
SYSTEM
The system flashes the turn signal lamps
and sounds the horn (intermittently) in the
event of a serious impact that deploys an
airbag (front, side, side curtain or Safety
Canopy) or the safety belt pretensioners.
The horn and lamps will turn off when:
•
the hazard control button is pressed
•
the panic button (if equipped) is
pressed on the remote entry
transmitter, or
•
your vehicle runs out of power.
Spin out Detection
If a spinout is detected, the vehicle comes
to a stop, and the hazard warning flashers
come on, the message Spinout Detected
Hazards Activated will appear on the
instrument cluster. The message may not
appear if your vehicle runs out of power.
Once the hazard warning flashers have
been activated, you can turn them off by:
•
pressing the hazard warning flasher
button.
•
pressing the remote control unlock
button.
•
pressing the remote control panic
button.
•
cycling the ignition on and off twice.

AIRBAGS
WARNINGS
Never place your arm or any objects
over an airbag module. Placing your
arm over a deploying airbag can
result in serious arm fractures or other
injuries. Objects placed on or over the
airbag inflation area may cause those
objects to be propelled by the airbag into
your face and torso causing serious injury.
Airbags can kill or injure a child in a
child seat. Never place a rear-facing
child seat in front of an active airbag.
If you must use a forward-facing child seat
in the front seat, move the seat all the way
back.
