Possible cause/consequence
Front passenger front air bag is activated
while driving even though a child, small
individual, or object below the system's
weight threshold is on the front passenger
seat, or the front passenger seat is empty.
Objects on the seat or forces acting on the
seat may make the system sense supple-
mental weight.
Possible solution
X
Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as
possible.
X
Engage the parking brake.
X
Switch off the ignition.
X
Open the front passenger door.
X
Remove child and child restraint from front
passenger seat and properly secure the child
in rear seat employing the child restraint if nec-
essary.
X
Remove any other items from on and around
the front passenger seat and make sure the
storage bag on the back of the front passenger
seat is empty.
X
Make sure no objects which apply forces to the
seat are present (e.g. objects such as books,
briefcases etc. lodged behind or around the
seat, head restraints pushing against roof etc.).
The system may recognize such forces as sup-
plemental weight and sense that an occupant
on the front passenger seat is of a greater
weight than actually present.
X
Keep the seat unoccupied, close the front pas-
senger door and switch on the ignition.
