Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, 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 Sys-

tem perform the following functions:

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

until the ignition is placed in the “OFF” position.

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

the battery has power or until the ignition is placed in

the “OFF” position.

• Unlock the doors automatically.

Air Bag Warning Light

The air bags must be ready to inflate for your

protection in a collision. The Occupant Re-

straint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal

circuits and interconnecting wiring associated

with air bag system electrical components.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of

the air bag system whenever the ignition is in the START

or ON/RUN position. If the ignition 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.
The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the

instrument panel for approximately four to eight seconds

for a self-check when the ignition is first placed in the
