Passenger Sensing
System
To turn off the right front passenger's air bag, insert
your ignition key into the switch, push in, and move the
switch to the off position.
The AIR BAG OFF light will come on to let you know
that the right front passenger's air bag is off. The
right front passenger's air bag will remain off until you
turn it back on again, and the AIR BAG OFF light
will stay on to remind you that the air bag is off.
If the air bag readiness light ever comes on
when you have turned off the air bag, it means
that something may be wrong with the air bag
system. The right front passenger's air bag
could inflate even though the switch is off.
If your vehicle is regular cab pickup or an
extended cab pickup and this ever happens,
don't let anyone whom the national
government has identified as a member of a
passenger air bag risk group sit in the right
front passenger's position (for example, don't
secure a rear-facing child restraint in your
vehicle) until you have your vehicle serviced.
