See Operator’s Manual Air bag is deactivated while driv-
ing even though an adult or some-
one larger than a small individual
is occupying the front passenger
seat. Forces acting on the seat
may make the system sense a
decrease in weight. Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as possi-
ble and check the following:
왘
Do not lean on armrests or lift yourself up using
handle over the door. This may make the system
sense that an occupant of a lesser weight than
actually present is on the front passenger seat.

Re-position yourself.
왘
Sit properly belted in a nearly upright position
with your back against the seat backrest.
If performing any of the above corrective steps is
