with these instructions and warnings. Failure to put the switch in a
proper position can increase the risk of serious injury or death in a
collision.

Turning the Passenger Airbag Off
WARNING:
If the light fails to illuminate when the passenger air
bag switch is in the OFF position and the ignition switch is in
ON, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING:
In order to avoid inadvertent activation of the
switch, always remove the ignition key from the passenger air
bag ON and OFF switch.
WARNING:
An infant in a rear-facing seat faces a high risk of
serious or fatal injuries from a deploying passenger airbag. Rear
facing infant seats should never be placed in the front seats, unless the
passenger airbag is turned off.
1. Insert the ignition key, turn the
switch to off, and hold it in the off
position while removing the key.
2. When the ignition is turned to
off, the off light illuminates briefly,
momentarily shuts off and then
turns back on. This indicates that
the passenger airbag is deactivated.
