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.
• If the PAD Indicator Light remains illuminated 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.
• Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• Children 12 years or younger should always ride buckled up in a vehicle with a rear
seat.
Lighter Weight Passengers (Including Small Adults)
When a lighter weight passenger, including a small adult, occupies the passenger seat,
the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag may be deactivated. Therefore, the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag may or may not be activated for a lighter weight passenger,
including a small adult (depending on size) who is seated in the passenger seat. This does
not mean that the OCS is working improperly.
The driver and passenger must always use the PAD Indicator Light as a determination of
whether the Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag is activated or deactivated. If the PAD
Indicator Light is illuminated with the words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" when an adult
is in the front passenger seat, have the passenger reposition his or her body in the seat
until the PAD Indicator Light goes out.
If the PAD Indicator Light is illuminated with the words "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" the
Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag will not inflate in the event of a collision.
