If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified
to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer
Center. Phone numbers are provided under

ЉIf You Need

Assistance”.

WARNING!

Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more

severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with
your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.

Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument

panel during Advanced Front Airbag deployment
could cause serious injury, including death. Air-
bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably
extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.

WARNING! (Continued)

Side airbags also need room to inflate. Do not lean

against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.

Airbag Deployment Sensors and Controls

Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
The ORC is part of a Federally regulated safety system
required for this vehicle.

The ORC determines if deployment of the front and/or
side airbags in a frontal or side collision is required.
Based on the impact sensors signals, a central electronic
ORC deploys the Advanced Front Airbags, SABIC air-
bags — if equipped, and front seat belt pretensioners —
if equipped, as required, depending on the severity and
type of impact.
