The Advanced Front Air Bags and Supplemental Driver

Side Knee Air Bag will not deploy in all frontal collisions,

including some that may produce substantial vehicle

damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck

underrides, and angle offset collisions. On the other

hand, depending on the type and location of impact,

Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes with

little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a severe

initial deceleration.

The side air bags will not deploy in all side collisions.

Side air bag deployment will depend on the severity and

type of collision.

Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration

over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are

not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should

have deployed.

Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all acci-

dents, and also are needed to help keep you in position,

away from an inflating air bag.

The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of

the air bag system whenever the ignition is in the

ON/RUN position. If the key 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 contains a backup power supply system that

may deploy the air bags even if the battery loses power or

it becomes disconnected prior to deployment.

Also, the ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning

Light in the instrument panel for approxi-

mately four to eight seconds for a self-check

when the ignition is first turned on. 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
