have the Enhanced Accident Response Sys-
tem perform the following functions:

• Cut off fuel to the engine (If Equipped)

• Cut off battery power to the electric motor

(If Equipped)

• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery

has power

• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on

as long as the battery has power or for 15
minutes from the intervention of the En-
hanced Accident Response System.

• Unlock the power door locks.

NOTE:

After an accident, remember to cycle the
ignition to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position
and remove the key from the ignition switch
to avoid draining the battery. Carefully check
the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine com-
partment and on the ground near the engine
compartment and fuel tank before resetting
the system and starting the engine. If there
are no fuel leaks or damage to the vehicle
electrical devices (e.g. headlights) after an
accident, reset the system by following the
procedure described below. If you have any
doubt, contact an authorized dealer.
