Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the power remains
intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine whether to have the
Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the batter y has power or until the hazard light button is pushed.
The hazard lights can be deactivated by pushing the hazard light button.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power.
• Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset Procedure
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Response System functions after an event, the ignition
switch must be changed from ignition START or ON/RUN to ignition OFF. Carefully check the
vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the ground near the engine compart-
ment and fuel tank before resetting the system and starting the engine.
Air Bag Warning Light
The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air
bag system electrical components.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition switch is in the OFF position
or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approximately four to
eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position.
After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously.
A single chime will sound to alert you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight seconds
when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or turns on while
driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bags may not be ready
to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the air bag system immediately.
