Seating and Safety Restraints<br />

reduce the risk of force-r<strong>el</strong>ated injuries to the occupant’s chest by<br />

limiting the load on the occupant. Refer to Safety restraints section in<br />

this chapter.<br />

Determining if the Personal Safety System is operational<br />

The Personal Safety System uses a warning light in the instrument<br />

cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer<br />

to the Warning lights and chimes section in the Instrument Cluster<br />

chapter. Routine maintenance of the Personal Safety System is not<br />

required.<br />

The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits<br />

and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s),<br />

safety b<strong>el</strong>t pretensioners, front safety b<strong>el</strong>t buckle sensors, front<br />

passenger sensing system, and the driver seat position sensor. In<br />

addition, the RCM also monitors the restraints warning light in the<br />

instrument cluster. A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or<br />

more of the following:<br />

• The warning light will either flash or stay lit.<br />

• The warning light will not illuminate immediat<strong>el</strong>y after the ignition is<br />

turned on.<br />

• A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat<br />

periodically until the problem and warning light are repaired.<br />

If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the Personal<br />

Safety System serviced at an authorized dealer immediat<strong>el</strong>y. Unless<br />

serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a<br />

collision.<br />

Safety restraints precautions<br />

Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap<br />

b<strong>el</strong>t snug and low across the hips.<br />

To reduce the risk of injury, make sure children sit in the back<br />

seat where they can be properly restrained.<br />

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the<br />

vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from<br />

injury in a collision.<br />
