The Passenger Air Bag DISABLE Feature
consists of the following:
•
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
•
Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indi-
cator Light — an amber light located in the
center stack
•
Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indica-
tor Light — an amber light located in the
center stack
•
Air Bag Warning Light — an amber light
located in the instrument cluster display
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) moni-
tors the readiness of the electronic parts of the
air bag system whenever the ignition switch is in
the START or ON/RUN position. The ORC illu-
minates the Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF)
Indicator Light and the Passenger Air Bag EN-
ABLE (ON) Indicator Light in the center stack for
approximately five to eight seconds for a self-
check when the ignition switch is first in the
START or ON/RUN position. After the self-
check, the indicator light that is illuminated tells
the driver and passenger the status of the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag. If any of the
following occurs, have an authorized dealer
service the air bag system immediately:
•
Both indicator lights do not come on as a
self-check when the ignition is first in the
START or ON/RUN position.
•
Both indicator lights stay on after you start the
vehicle.
•
Both indicator lights stay off after you start the
vehicle.
•
Both indicator lights come on as you drive.
•
Both indicator lights turn off as you drive
Once the self-check is complete, only one Pas-
senger Air Bag Indicator Light should be illumi-
nated at a time.
WARNING!
If any of the above conditions occur, indicat-
ing there is an issue with the Passenger Air
Bag Indicator Light, the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag will remain in the last selected
state (DISABLED or ENABLED).
Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indi-
cator Light
The Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indica-
tor Light (an amber light located in the center
stack) tells the driver and front passenger when
the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is deac-
tivated. The Passenger Air Bag DISABLE (OFF)
Indicator Light on the center stack will illuminate
to show that the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag will not deploy during a collision.
NEVER assume the Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag is deactivated unless the Passenger Air
Bag DISABLE (OFF) Indicator Light
on the
center stack is illuminated.
Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indica-
tor Light
The Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator
Light (an amber light located in the center stack)
tells the driver and front passenger when the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is activated.
The Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON) Indicator
Light on the center stack will illuminate
to
show that the Passenger Advanced Front Air
Bag will deploy during an impact that requires
air bag deployment. NEVER assume the Pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag is activated
unless the Passenger Air Bag ENABLE (ON)
Indicator Light
on the center stack is illumi-
nated.
