area and occupants to further enhance protection provided in side
impact collisions and rollover events.
The fact that the side-curtain air bags (if equipped) did not activate in a
collision does not mean that there is a malfunction with the system.
Rather, it means the forces were not of the type sufficient to cause
activation. The side-curtain air bags (if equipped) are designed to inflate
in certain side impact collisions or rollover events, not in rear impact,
frontal or near-frontal collisions, unless the collision causes sufficient
lateral deceleration or rollover likelihood.
WARNING: Several
side-curtain air bag (if
equipped) components get hot
after inflation. Do not touch
them after inflation.
WARNING: If the side-curtain air bags (if equipped) have
deployed, the side-curtain air bags (if equipped) will not
function again unless replaced. The side-curtain air bags
(including the A, B and C pillar trim) must be inspected and
serviced by a qualified technician in accordance with the vehicle
workshop manual. If the side-curtain air bags are not replaced,
the unrepaired area will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
Determining if the system is operational
The SRS uses a readiness light in the instrument cluster or a tone to
indicate the condition of the system. Refer to the
Air bag readiness
section in the Instrumentation chapter. Routine maintenance of the air
bag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following:
•
The readiness light (same light as for front air bag system) will either
flash or stay lit.
•
The readiness light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is
turned on.
•
A series of five beep sounds will be heard. The tone pattern will
repeat periodically until the problem and light are repaired.
