Turning the Passenger Airbag Back On
WARNINGS
The eatbelts for the driver and right
front passenger seating positions
have been specifically designed to
function together with the airbags in
certain types of crashes. When you turn off
your airbag, you not only lose the
protection of the airbag, you also may
reduce the effectiveness of your seatbelt
system, which was designed to work with
the airbag. If you are not a person who
meets the requirements stated in the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration or Transport Canada
deactivation criteria turning off the airbag
can increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a crash.
WARNINGS
If your vehicle has rear seats, always
transport children who are 12 and
younger in the rear seat. Always use
seatbelts and child restraints properly. Do
not place a child in a rear facing infant seat
in the front seat unless your vehicle is
equipped with an airbag on and off switch
and the passenger airbag is turned off. This
is because the back of the infant seat is
too close to the inflating airbag and the
risk of a fatal injury to the infant when the
airbag inflates is substantial.
If the off light is illuminated when the
passenger airbag switch is in the on
position and the ignition switch is in
on, have the passenger airbag switch
serviced at an authorized dealer
immediately.
The passenger airbag remains off until you
turn it back on.
