Enhanced Accident Response
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In the event of an impact that causes airbag deployment, the Enhanced Accident Response System switches on the interior lamps and unlocks the doors after the vehicle has stopped. This helps emergency personnel render appropriate assistance. The lamps remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed.
