Turning the Passenger Airbag Back On
WARNINGS
The safety belts for the driver and
right front passenger seating
positions have been specifically
designed to function together with the
airbags in certain types of crashes. When
you turn off your airbag, you not only lose
the protection of the airbag, you also may
reduce the effectiveness of your safety belt
system, which was designed to work with
the airbag. If you are not a passenger who
meets the requirements stated in the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration or Transport Canada
deactivation criteria turning off the airbag
can increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a crash.
If your vehicle has rear seats, always
transport children who are 12 years
and under in the rear seat. Always
use safety belts and child restraints
correctly. Do not place a child in a rear
facing infant seat in the front seat unless
your vehicle is equipped with an airbag on
and off switch and the passenger airbag is
turned off. This is because the back of the
infant seat is too close to the inflating
airbag and the risk of a fatal injury to the
infant when the airbag inflates is
substantial.
If the pass airbag off light is
illuminated when the passenger
airbag switch is on and the ignition
is on, have the passenger airbag switch
serviced at your authorized dealer
immediately.
The passenger airbag remains off until you
turn it back on.
