The restraints control module also monitors
the readiness of the above safety devices
plus the crash and occupant sensors. A
warning indicator light in the instrument
cluster indicates the readiness of the safety
system. If this warning indicator light is not
functioning and there is another fault within
the system, the message cluster could
display an airbag failure warning. A tone
sounds, a warning indicator light illuminates,
or both, until the problem is repaired. Routine
maintenance of the airbag is not required.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by
one or more of the following:
E67017
The indicator light will not
illuminate immediately after you
switch the ignition on.
• The indicator light either flashes or stays
illuminated.
• You could hear five tones that
periodically repeat until the problem is
repaired.
• A message could appear in the
information display.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced at an authorized
dealer immediately. Unless serviced, the
system may not function properly in the
event of a crash.
The seatbelt pretensioners and the airbag
supplemental restraint system are designed
to activate when your vehicle sustains frontal
or sideways deceleration sufficient to cause
the restraints control module to deploy a
safety device or when a certain likelihood of
a rollover event is detected by the rollover
sensor.
The fact that the seatbelt pretensioners or
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 crash conditions (for
example, crash severity, belt usage) were
not appropriate to activate these safety
devices.
• The design of the front airbags is to
activate only in frontal and near-frontal
crashes (not rollovers, side impacts or
rear impacts) unless the crash causes
sufficient frontal deceleration.
• The seatbelt pretensioners are designed
to activate in frontal, near-frontal, side
and rollover crashes.
• The design of the side airbags is to inflate
in certain side crashes. Side airbags
could activate in other types of crashes
if the vehicle experiences sufficient
sideways motion or deformation.
