ROLL SENSING OF CURTAIN
SHIELD AIRBAGS OFF SWITCH
12x600a
The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch can
turn off the curtain shield airbags and front seat belt
pretensioners in a vehicle rollover. This switch should
only be used in a situation where the inflation is not
desired (such as during extreme offroad driving).
When you push the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
switch for a few seconds with the ignition switch on, the roll
sensing of curtain shield airbags off indicator light comes on
and the roll sensing function is turned off. When you push the
switch again, the indicator light goes off and the roll sensing
function is turned on.
In a severe side impact, the curtain shield airbag on the
impacted side will inflate even if the roll sensing function is
turned off.
If the ignition switch is turned to "ACC" or "LOCK" with the roll
sensing function off and then the ignition switch is turned back
to "ON", the roll sensing function will be back on automatically.
For details, see "Seat belt pretensioners" on page 130 or "SRS
side airbags and curtain shield airbags" on page 144.
CAUTION
D Make sure the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags
off indicator light is not on.
D When the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
switch is turned on (and the roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off indicator light is on), the curtain
shield airbags and front seat belt pretensioners will
not inflate in a vehicle rollover. Turning off the curtain
shield airbags can reduce the occupant protection
which your vehicle safety systems can provide to you
in certain accidents and increase the likelihood of
death or serious injuries.
