Before Starting
frontal collisions depending on the
severity and type of collision.
Advanced front air bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions.
The advanced front air bags will
not deploy in all frontal collisions,
including those that may produce
substantial vehicle damage, for
example, some pole collisions, truck
under rides, and corner impacts. On
the other hand, depending on the
type and location of impact, advanced
front air bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage
but that produce a severe initial
deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all
side collisions. Side air bag deployment
will depend on the severity and type
of collision. Because air bag sensors
measure vehicle deceleration over
time, vehicle speed and damage
merely are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all accidents, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag. The
ORC monitors the readiness of the
electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the ignition switch is in the
RUN
position. If the ignition switch
is in the
OFF
position, in the
ACC
position, or not active, the air bag
system is not activated and the air
bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power
supply system that may deploy the
air bags even if the battery has low
power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment. When starting
the vehicle, ORC turns on the air bag
warning light
on the instrument
cluster for approximately 4 to 8
seconds for a test.
After the test, the air bag warning
light will turn off. If the ORC, during
the diagnosis phase detects a
malfunction that could affect the air
bag system, it turns on the air bag
warning light and the “Service Airbag
System” message either momentarily
or continuously. The diagnostics also
record the nature of the malfunction.
A beep will sound if the light
illuminates again after initial startup.
The air bag warning light monitors the
internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with air bag system
electrical components.
WARNING!
•
The air bags may also be deployed
when the car is not moving, if
the ignition switch is in RUN
position and the engine is off, if
the car is hit by another moving
vehicle. Therefore, even if the
car is stationary, when an active
passenger air bag is fitted, DO
NOT install on the passenger seat
child restraint systems to be fitted
rearward facing on the front seat.
Deployment of the air bag following
an impact could cause fatal injuries
to the child. Therefore, always
deactivate the passenger air bag (see
