Honda 2003 Odyssey, Owner'S Manual

Page: 29 / 415

Front airbags have been designed to
help protect adults in a moderate to
severe frontal collision. To do this,
the passenger’s front airbag is quite
large, and it can inflate with enough
force to cause very serious injuries.
With an advanced airbag system, the
front passenger’s airbag is turned off
if sensors detect a total weight of
less than about 65 lbs (30 kg) in the
seat, and the ‘‘Passenger Airbag
Cutoff’’ indicator is turned on. (See
page
for additional information on
how the passenger’s airbag works.)
Even if the passenger’s front airbag
is turned off, we strongly
recommend that infants, small
children, and larger children ride
properly restrained in a back seat
where they will be safer. To help prevent airbag-caused
deaths and injuries to children, this
vehicle has an advanced airbag
system.
