Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if

the communication network remains intact, and the

power remains intact, depending on the nature of the

event the ORC will determine whether to have the

Enhanced Accident Response System perform the follow-

ing functions:

• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or

until the ignition key is turned off.

• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as

the battery has power or until the ignition key is

removed.

• Unlock the doors automatically.
If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate immediately

after deployment.

NOTE:

Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all

collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with

the air bag system.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air bags, any

or all of the following may occur:

• The nylon air bag material may sometimes cause

abrasions and/or skin reddening to the driver and

front passenger as the air bags deploy and unfold. The

abrasions are similar to friction rope burns or those

you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium

floor. They are not caused by contact with chemicals.

They are not permanent and normally heal quickly.

However, if you haven’t healed significantly within a

few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor

immediately.

• As the air bags deflate, you may see some smoke-like

particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the

process that generates the non-toxic gas used for air
