Additional Information About Your Airbags
When the airbag is turned off, a
''passenger airbag off'' indicator in
the center of the dashboard comes
on (see page
31
).
If the weight sensors detect that
there is no passenger in the front
seat, the airbag will be off. However,
the Passenger Airbag Off indicator
will not come on.
To ensure that the passenger's
advanced front airbag system will
work properly,
do not do anything
that would increase or decrease the
weight on the front passenger's seat.
This includes:
A rear passenger pushing or
pulling on the back of the front
passenger's seat.
28
Moving the front seat forcibly
back against cargo on the seat or
floor behind it.
Hanging heavy items on the front
passenger seat, or placing heavy
items in the seat-back pocket.
Moving the front seat or seat-back
forcibly back against the folded
rear seat.
Also, make sure the floor mat behind
the front passenger's seat is hooked
to the floor mat anchor (see page
224
). If it is not, the mat may
interfere with the proper operation
of the sensors and operation of the
seat.

How Your Side Airbags Work

If you ever have a moderate to
severe side impact, sensors will
detect rapid deceleration and signal
the control unit to instantly inflate
either the driver's or the passenger's
side airbag.
