318 SAFETY
(Continued)
Front Air Bag will not deploy during a collision.
When the front passenger seat is empty or
when very light objects are placed on the seat
and the seat belt is unbuckled, the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will not deploy even
though the PAD indicator light is NOT
illuminated.
The PAD indicator light should not be
illuminated when an adult passenger is properly
seated in the front passenger seat. The driver
and adult passenger should verify that the PAD
Indicator Light is not illuminated when an adult
is riding in the front passenger seat. If an adult
is not seated properly, the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag may deactivate and the PAD
Indicator Light will be illuminated.
The PAD Indicator Light should be illuminated
and the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
should be deactivated for most properly seated
and restrained children in the passenger seat
and for most properly installed child restraint
systems. However, under certain conditions,
even with a properly installed child restraint
system, the PAD Indicator Light may not be
illuminated, even though the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated. This can
occur if the child restraint is lighter than the
lightest weight necessary to illuminate the PAD
Indicator Light. NEVER assume the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated unless
the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated with the
words “PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF.”
NOTE:
If the seat belt is buckled for an empty seat, the
PAD Indicator Light will illuminate.
If The PAD Indicator Light Is Illuminated For An
Adult Passenger:
If an adult passenger is seated in the front
passenger seat and the PAD Indicator Light is
illuminated, the passenger may be sitting
improperly. Follow the steps below to allow the
OCS to detect the adult passenger’s seated
weight to activate the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag:
1. Turn off the vehicle and have the adult
passenger step out of the vehicle.
2. Remove any extra materials from the
passenger seat, such as cushions, pads,
seat covers, seat massagers, blankets,
extra clothing, etc.
3. Place the seatback in the full upright
position.
4. Have the adult passenger sit in the center of
the seat, with the passenger’s feet
comfortably on or near the floor, and with
their back against the seatback.
5. Restart the vehicle and have the passenger
remain in this seated position for two to
three minutes after restarting the vehicle.
WARNING!
If the PAD Indicator Light remains illumi-
nated for an adult passenger, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately. Failure to do so may
cause serious injury or death. If the PAD
Indicator Light is illuminated with the words
"PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF," the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will not deploy in
the event of a collision.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying passenger
front air bag can cause death or serious
injury to a child 12 years or younger,
including a child in a rear-facing child
restraint.
