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 deploys the following:
• Seatbelt pretensioners.
• Driver airbag.
• Passenger airbag.
• Knee airbag(s).
• 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 safety system displays an
indicator in the instrument cluster when it
is ready. The system sends out a tone if it
is not working. The airbag does not require
routine maintenance.
One or more of the following indicates a
difficulty with the system:
E67017
The readiness light does not
immediately illuminate after you
switch the ignition on.
• The readiness light either flashes or
stays on.
• You hear a series of five beeps. The
tone pattern periodically repeats until
the problem, the light or both are
repaired.
If any of these things happen, even
intermittently, have the supplemental
restraint system serviced immediately at
an authorized dealer. Unless serviced, the
system may not properly function 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 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 design of the front and rear
seatbelt pretensioners is to activate in
frontal, near-frontal and side crashes,
and in rollovers.
