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.
• Adaptive steering column.
• Driver airbag.
• Passenger airbag.
• Seat mounted side airbags.
• Safety Canopy.
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
readiness of the safety system is indicated
by a warning indicator light in the instrument
cluster or by a backup tone if the warning
light is not working. Routine maintenance of
the airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by
one or more of the following:
E67017
The readiness light will not
illuminate immediately after you
switch the ignition on.
• The readiness light either flashes or stays
on.
• You hear a series of five tones. The tone
pattern repeats periodically until the
problem, the light or both are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced immediately.
Unless serviced, the system may not function
properly in the event of a crash.
The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners or
front airbags did not activate for both front
seat occupants in a crash does not mean
that something is wrong with the system.
Rather, it means the restraints control module
determined the accident conditions (crash
severity, seatbelt usage) were not
appropriate to activate these safety devices.
• The front airbags activate only in frontal
and near-frontal crashes. Front airbags
may activate in rollovers, side impacts or
rear impacts if the crash causes sufficient
frontal deceleration.
• The seatbelt pretensioners activate in
frontal, near-frontal and side crashes, and
in rollovers.
