See Operator's Manual
356
Possible cause
Air bag is deactivated while driving
even though an adult or someone
larger than a small individual is
occupying the front passenger seat.
Forces acting on the seat may make
the system sense a decrease in
weight.
Possible solution
Stop the vehicle in a safe location as soon as
possible and check the following:
Do not lean on armrests or lift yourself up
using handle over the door. This may make
the system sense that an occupant of a
lesser weight than actually present is on the
front passenger seat.
Re-position yourself.
Sit properly belted in a nearly upright
position with your back against the seat
backrest.
If performing any of the above corrective steps is
successful, the message
Front-pass. airbag
activated See Operator's Manual
in the multifunction display, confirming the
situation has been remedied.
