The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags
off switch can turn off the curtain
shield airbags and front seat belt pre-
tensioners in a vehicle rollover. This
switch should only be used in a situa-
tion where the inflation is not desired
(such as extreme off- road driving).
When you push the roll sensing
of curtain
shield airbags
off switch for a few seconds
with the ignition switch on, the roll sens-
ing
of curtain shield airbags
off indicator
light comes on and the roll sensing func-
tion is turned off. When you push the
switch again, the indicator light goes off
and the roll sensing function is turned on.
In a severe side impact, the curtain shield
airbags on impacted side will inflate even
if the roll sensing function is turned off.
If the ignition switch is turned to “ACC” or
“LOCK” with the roll sensing function off
and then the ignition switch is turned back
to “ON”, the roll sensing function will be
back on automatically.
For details, “Seat belt pretensioners” on
page 57 or “SRS side airbags and curtain
shield airbags with roll sensing function”
on page 67.
CAUTION
! Make sure the roll sensing
of cur-
tain shield airbags
off indicator light
is not on.
!
When the roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off switch is turned
on (and the roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off indicator light is
on), the curtain shield airbags and
front seat belt pretensioners will
not inflate in a vehicle rollover and
turning off the curtain shield air-
bags
can reduce the occupant
protection which your vehicle safety
systems can provide to you in cer-
tain accidents and increase the like-
lihood of death or serious injuries.
