The first stage inflator is triggered immedi-
ately during an impact that requires air bag
deployment. A low energy output is used in
less severe collisions. A higher energy output
is used for more severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with a driver
and/or front passenger seat belt buckle
switch that detects whether the driver or front
passenger seat belt is buckled. The seat belt
buckle switch may adjust the inflation rate of
the Advanced Front Air Bags.
This vehicle may be equipped with driver
and/or front passenger seat track position
sensors that may adjust the inflation rate of
the Advanced Front Air Bags based upon seat
position.
This vehicle has an Occupant Classification
System (“OCS”) in the front passenger seat.
The OCS is designed to activate or deactivate
the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag de-
pending on the occupant’s seated weight.
It is designed to deactivate the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag for an unoccupied
seat and for occupants whose seated weight
classifies them in a category other than a
properly seated adult. This could be a child,
teenager, or even an adult.
The Passenger Air Bag Disable (“PAD”) Indi-
cator Light (an amber light located on the
overhead sports bar) tells the driver and front
passenger when the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag is deactivated. The PAD Indi-
cator Light illuminates the words “PASSEN-
GER AIR BAG OFF” to show that the Passen-
ger Advanced Front Air Bag will not deploy
during a collision.
NOTE:
When the front passenger seat is empty or
when very light objects are placed on the
seat, the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
will not deploy even though the Passenger Air
Bag Disable (PAD) System Indicator Light is
NOT illuminated.
WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or near
the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air
bag to inflate.
• Do not put anything on or around the air
bag covers or attempt to open them
manually. You may damage the air bags
and you could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag cushions
are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to
restrain you properly. In some collisions,
air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear
your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
