USA only:
The front passenger front air bag is
activated while driving even though a
child, small individual, or object below the
system’s weight threshold is on the front
passenger seat, or the front passenger
seat is empty. Objects on the seat or
forces acting on the seat may make the
system sense supplemental weight.

X Remove child and child restraint from front

necessary.
X
Remove any other items from on and around
the front passenger seat and make sure the
parcel net on the back of the front passenger
seat is empty.
X
Make sure no objects which apply forces to the
seat are present (e.g. objects such as books,
briefcases etc. lodged behind or around the

The system may recognize such forces as
supplemental weight and sense that an
occupant on the front passenger seat is of a
greater weight than actually present.

passenger door and switch on the ignition.
