Seats and Restraints 3-31 Replacing Airbag System Parts after a Crash { Warning A crash can damage the airbag systems in the vehicle. A damaged airbag system may not work properly and may not protect you and your passenger(s) in a crash, resulting in serious injury or even death. To help make sure the airbag systems are working properly after a crash, have them inspected and any necessary replacements made as soon as possible. If an airbag inflates, you will need to replace airbag system parts. See your dealer for service. If the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is started or comes on when you are driving, the airbag system may not work properly. Have the vehicle serviced right away. See Airbag Readiness Light on page 5-19 for more information. Vehicles with eAssist have a high voltage battery and a standard 12‐volt battery. If an airbag inflates or the vehicle has been in a crash, the vehicle's sensing system may shut down the high voltage system. When this occurs, the high voltage battery is disconnected and the vehicle is not charging the 12‐volt battery or the electrical system. The vehicle may start but it shuts down once the 12‐volt battery is depleted. When the 12‐volt battery is depleted, the vehicle will not start and the on‐board jump start feature is disabled. The airbag readiness light and/or the 12‐volt battery warning light are displayed. Before the vehicle can be operated again, it must be serviced at your dealer. Child Restraints Older Children Older children who have outgrown booster seats should wear the vehicle safety belts.
