WARNING!
Ignoring the Airbag Warning Light in your instru-
ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to
protect you in a collision. If the light does not come
on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes
on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right
away.
Front and Side Impact Sensors
Impact Sensors trigger airbag deployment in front and
side impacts, and aid the ORC in determining appropri-
ate response to impact events. Additional sensors in the
ORC determine the level of airbag deployment and
provide verification.
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain
(SABIC) — If Equipped
The ORC deploys the SABIC during a collision with
other vehicles and during collisions where the impact is
confined to a particular area of the vehicle. In these
events, the ORC will deploy the SABIC only on the
impact side of the vehicle.
NOTE:
The ORC will also detect and protect for rollover
events. In a rollover the pretensioners and/or SABIC
airbags will deploy on both sides of the vehicle.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, the
vehicle communication network intact, and the power
intact, the ORC will determine if the event is severe
enough for the Enhanced Accident Response System to
perform the following functions:
• Cuts off fuel to the engine.
• Flashes hazard lights as long as the battery has power
or until the ignition key is turned off.
