Front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch
The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
can be used to disable the front passenger’s
airbag. If you have a child restraint system
that cannot be fitted to any seat other than the
front passenger seat, be sure to turn OFF the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch be-
fore using it. (Refer to “To turn an airbag off”
on page 4-20.)
Front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is
located at shown in the illustration.
Front passenger’s airbag OFF
indication lamp
The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication
lamp is located at shown in the illustration.
The indication lamp normally comes on
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON, and goes off a few seconds later.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned OFF, the indication lamp will
stay on to show that the front passenger’s air-
bag is not operational.
When the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON, the indication lamp goes
off to show that the front passenger’s airbag
is operational.
WARNING
l
Do not fit any accessory that makes the
indication lamp impossible to see, and do
not cover the indication lamp with a stick-
er. You would not be able to verify the sta-
tus of the front passenger’s airbag system.
To turn an airbag off
WARNING
l To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
•
Always remove the key from the igni-
tion switch before operating a front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
Failure to do so could adversely affect
the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch after turning the ignition switch
to the “LOCK” position or putting the
operation mode in OFF.
The SRS airbag system is designed to
retain enough voltage to deploy the air-
bag.
• Always remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch af-
ter operating that switch. Failure to do
so could lead to improper position of
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch.
