be sure to turn OFF the front passenger’s airbag ON-
OFF switch before using it. (Refer to “To turn an

tion lamp

The front passenger’s airbag OFF indication lamp
is located as shown in the illustration.
The indication lamp normally comes on when the
electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, 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 airbag is not opera-
tional. 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 opera-
tional.
WARNING
l
Do not fit any accessory that makes the in-
dication 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 passenger airbag system.

WARNING
l
To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
• Always remove the key from the elec-
tric motor switch before operating the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch. Failure to do so could adverse-
ly affect the airbag performance.
• Wait at least 60 seconds to operate the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch after turning the electric motor
switch to the “LOCK” position.
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.
• Do not turn OFF the front passen-
ger’s airbag ON-OFF switch except
when a child restraint system is fitted
to the front passenger seat.
