Air bags help protect the driver and right-front passenger in certain collisions by supplementing the protection provided by safety belts. Dual-stage frontal air bags utilize sensors to help detect the severity of impact and where the seats are. In less severe crashes or when the seats are in the full-forward position, the air bags will deploy at less than full level. The Passenger Sensing System automatically switches the right-front passenger frontal air bag on or off based on passenger weight and the type of pressure on the seat. Even with this innovative feature, you should always wear your safety belt and be sure children are properly restrained in the rear seat.
Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, even with air bags. Even with the Passenger Sensing System, children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat (when equipped). See the Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.
Head curtain side air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of head and neck injuries to front and rear seat outboard occupants on the near side of a certain side-impact collisions. Always use safety belts and correct child restraints, for your child's age and size, even in vehicles equipped with air bags. Children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. See the Owner's Manual and child safety seat instructions for more safety information.
The Stabilitrak Electronic Stability System Control System helps improve driver stability, particularly during emergency maneuvers.
As an added security feature, this vehicle has the PASS-Key III Plus theft-deterrent system, which includes a special ignition key with up to 3 trillion possible code variations. If any attempt is made to start your vehicle without the properly coded key, the starter and fuel injectors are temporarily disabled.
