Also, the ORC turns on the “Air Bag Warning
Light” for four to eight seconds for a self-check
when the ignition is first turned to ON/RUN.
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 if the light comes on again after initial
startup.

It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru-
ment cluster Air Bag Warning Light if a malfunction is
noted that could affect the air bag system. The diagnos-
tics also record the nature of the malfunction.

WARNING!

Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your instru-
ment panel could mean you won’t have the air bags
to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come
on as a bulb check when the ignition is first turned
on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes
on as you drive, have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately.

Occupant Classification System (OCS)
The OCS is part of a Federally regulated safety system
required for this vehicle. It is designed to turn off the
passenger Advanced Front Air Bag for an empty seat and
for occupants classified in a category other than an adult.
This could be a child, teenager, or even an adult.

NOTE:

Children 12 years or younger should always

ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appropriate child
restraint.
