Front passenger airbag
disabled
See Operator’s Manual Front passenger front
air bag is deactivated
while driving even
though an adult or
someone larger than a
small individual is oc-
cupying the front pas-
senger 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 possible and check the front
passenger seat for the following:
왘
Apply the parking brake (
컄
page 66).
왘
Switch off the ignition (
컄
page 39).
왘
Have the front passenger vacate the seat and exit the vehicle.
왘
Adjust the seat in a height position (
컄
page 44).
왘
Make sure that no objects which apply forces to the seat are present (e.g. ob-
jects such as books, briefcases etc. lodged underneath, behind or around the
seat). Such forces may cause the system to sense that an occupant of a lesser
weight than actually present is on the front passenger seat.
왘
Keep the seat unoccupied, close the front passenger door and switch on the
ignition (
