WARNING:
A safety belt that is improperly routed, not
properly attached, or twisted will not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The person wearing
the belt could be seriously injured. After raising
the rear seatback, always check to be sure that
the safety belts are properly routed and attached,
and are not twisted.

After a Crash
If an airbag inflates or the vehicle has been in a crash,
the vehicle's sensing system may command the
automatic hybrid battery disconnect to open. The
battery will disconnect. The hybrid battery will be off and
the vehicle will not start. The airbag readiness light and/
or SERVICE HYBRID SYSTEM warning message may
come on in the driver information center. See “Airbag
Readiness Light” in the owner manual and Driver
Information Center (DIC)
on page 4‑11
for more
information.
To operate the vehicle, the automatic hybrid battery
disconnect must be serviced by a qualified service
technician and sensing system parts will need to be
replaced. Have the vehicle serviced right away.
