properly, see

later in this
chapter.
If the airbag readiness lamp is lit, do the following:
The driver or adult passengers should check for any objects that may be
lodged underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the
seat.
If objects are lodged or cargo is interfering with the seat; please take the
following steps to remove the obstruction:
•
Pull your vehicle over.
•
Turn your vehicle off.
•
Driver or adult passengers should check for any objects lodged
underneath the front passenger seat or cargo interfering with the seat.
•
Remove the obstruction(s) (if found).
•
Restart your vehicle.
•
Wait at least two minutes and verify that the airbag readiness light is
no longer illuminated.
•
If the airbag readiness lamp remains illuminated, this may or may not
be a problem due to the front passenger sensing system.

immediately to an authorized dealer.

SIDE AIRBAGS
WARNING:
Do not place objects or mount equipment on or near
the airbag cover, on the side of the seat backs (of the front
seats), or in front seat areas that may come into contact with a
deploying airbag. Failure to follow these instructions may increase the
risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.
WARNING:
Do not use accessory seat covers. The use of
accessory seat covers may prevent the deployment of the side
airbags and increase the risk of injury in an accident.
