Turning the Passenger Airbag Back On
WARNINGS
The safety belts for the driver and
right front passenger seating
positions have been specifically
designed to function together with the
airbags in certain types of crashes. When
you turn off your airbag, you not only lose
the protection of the airbag, you also may
reduce the effectiveness of your safety belt
system, which was designed to work with
the airbag. If you are not a person who
meets the requirements stated in the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration or Transport Canada
deactivation criteria turning off the airbag
can increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a crash.
If your vehicle has rear seats, always
transport children who are 12 and
younger in the rear seat. Always use
safety belts and child restraints properly.
Do not place a child in a rear facing infant
seat in the front seat unless your vehicle is
WARNINGS
equipped with an airbag on and off switch
and the passenger airbag is turned off. This
is because the back of the infant seat is
too close to the inflating airbag and the
risk of a fatal injury to the infant when the
airbag inflates is substantial.
If the off light is illuminated when the
passenger airbag switch is in the on
position and the ignition switch is in
on, have the passenger airbag switch
serviced at an authorized dealer
immediately.
The passenger airbag remains off until you
turn it back on.
