When the airbag is turned off, an
indicator in the center of the
dashboard will come on indicating
passenger airbag ‘‘OFF’’ (see page
).
If you ever have a moderate to
severe side impact, sensors will
detect rapid deceleration and signal
the control unit to instantly inflate
either the driver’s or the passenger’s
side airbag.
If the weight sensors detect there is
no passenger in the front seat, the
airbag will be off. However, the
passenger airbag off indicator will
not come on.
To ensure that the passenger’s
advanced front airbag system will
work properly,
This includes:
A rear passenger pushing or
pulling on the back of the front
passenger’s seat.
Moving the front seat forcibly
back against cargo on the seat or
floor behind it.
Moving the front seat forcibly
back on the folded rear seat.
The rear seat-back interfering
with the reclined front passenger’s
seat-back when the rear seat is
folded down.
Hanging heavy items on the front
passenger seat, or placing heavy
items in the seat-back pocket.
If your vehicle is equipped with
the floor mats, make sure the floor
mat behind the front passenger’s
seat is hooked to the floor mat
anchor (see page
). If it is not,
the mat may interfere with the
proper operation of the sensors
and operation of the seat.
